Several years ago, I was having sciatica when we went to Costa Rica on vacation. By the time the plane landed, they almost had to roll me off the plane. Desperate for a solution, I went online and found simple exercises on your NHS website. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/exercises-for-sciatica/ The one that worked for me was "lying deep gluteal stretch." I began getting a little relief the very first day and began increasing the frequency of the exercise. Most of the pain was gone by the time we came home a week later. Of course, while everyone else was at the beach, I was lying on the floor doing stretches...but at least I was getting better, fast. I have had a few twinges in the years since then, but as soon as I begin to feel them, I start the exercises again and have never had a full-blown attack since. I like pain pills as well as the next guy, but this is sooooooooo much better.mikemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569666073239903588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-75220235262908747532018-12-04T17:39:54.589+00:002018-12-04T17:39:54.589+00:00Nope, she is in hiding.

I trust the scones won't be spread with the garlic butter though....unless they're savoury cheese ones I guess!<br /><br />The Christmas quilted bag is just gorgeous, Pam. On the subject of quilted bags...last week when we were going to peruse the charity shops in our favourite little town, I wanted a heavy decent bag to take, not one of my tatty hessian shopping bags. I had a *ping* moment and remembered the craft bag you'd made me, the big one with the very cleverly quilted sewing machine on it. I emptied it out (it had 2 UFO's in it) and took that, it was marvellous, looked great and held so much. I was even asked by one of the charity shop staff where I'd got it, I told her that a very talented friend had made it for me, she said she wished she had a friend like that!Soozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541083431029092303.post-44249374736746220732018-12-04T09:26:55.218+00:002018-12-04T09:26:55.218+00:00There's so much temptation when you watch podc...There's so much temptation when you watch podcasts and vlogs, it's so easy to buy things now at the click of a button but, like you, I have enough to keep me out of mischief for a long time yet. Plus, I'm sure some gorgeous new yarn will appear in my Christmas stocking anyway.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
