I've had sciatica and it certainly isn't any fun. Fortunately only once and it wasn't crippling. My wife gets it every ten years or so. I just got over a pinched nerve in the neck which all but paralyzed my left arm. It took about six weeks and then another four to get any strength back. Good luck and kick some more Demonicrat butt.

"Don't no one want no oily shrimp," he cried. Heartbreaking. James Arthur |
