You are so right about the same time I had another complaint which he said the same thing to me lose weight and exercise I was so taken back and embrassed by remarks he made I carried on suffering for another year before I went back and asked for a woman doctor, who sent me straight to hospital where within a week I was operated on for a full hysterectomy as by then I had no other choice .which I would of had the year before.Re: Sciatica

Re: Sciatica
Just an add on,i have had/tried physio,full fibreglass body cast (hips to armpits) for 3 months,acupuncture (worked for 12 hours) TENS machine did not help at all,core muscle exercises with ultrasound,physical manipulation,meditation etc etc,now i take morphine based pain relief,but i have had a very hard working life,so mechanical problems are to be expected after 45 years of bending and lifting.
