taurean

Used car to drive to supermarket and I sat while my wife whizzed round.

I have faithfully followed doctor's treatment treatment and it's been a sporting afternoon, following Northampton Saints rugby and Northampton Town football Live on BBC radio Northampton, then England v Italy Rugby on TV. 

Back to bed again soon for more local gel treatment plus codeine and paracetamol, and some soothing classical music. 

Feeling much more comfortable tonight, medication is working and inflammation reducing. 

Slow progress, but making progress and that's good. 

Pain is localising and does ease a lot when I take the medication. I think there was before some "referred pain" along the sciatic nerve which made things a whole lot worse.
