It's nothing like the peek-a-boo ultrasound--it's a warm, relaxing rub with a warm metal rod across the hurting parts and it's about the only thing PT's ever been good for as far as my problems were concerned.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8112','PandoraWilde'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8112','PandoraWilde','If you wind up with a prescription for physical therapy for the sciatica, make sure the magic word \"ultrasound\" is on the little piece of paper.\n\nIt\'s nothing like the peek-a-boo ultrasound--it\'s a warm, relaxing rub with a warm metal rod across the hurting parts and it\'s about the only thing PT\'s ever been good for as far as my problems were concerned.'); return false;">Quote</a></div> If you wind up with a prescription for physical therapy for the sciatica, make sure the magic word “ultrasound” is on the little piece of paper.

It’s nothing like the peek-a-boo ultrasound–it’s a warm, relaxing rub with a warm metal rod across the hurting parts and it’s about the only thing PT’s ever been good for as far as my problems were concerned.

Oddly I don't actually take anything for it painkiller wise, I just try and keep moving and try lots of stretches. Massage also works well but it's amazing how suddenly my shoulders and feet ache and needs rubbing too! ;)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8085','Tracy'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8085','Tracy','I get occasional bouts of sciatica but I blame mine on crappy birthing positions.

Having had sciatica for the ENTIRE time I was pregnant, I know exactly how you feel (except I couldn't take my beloved Flexeril - ya know, being pregnant and all). Hope they figure it out. If you're destined to take muscle relaxers for weeks ("poor you") you might also consider some massage or acupuncture - both work well for sciatica. As for the gout...you're on your own there, sista.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8084','OneCraftychick'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8084','OneCraftychick','Awww - that totally sucks!

You were spinning on Sunday for the first time in quite a while, could that have contributed to the pain in your leg and back? Maybe the position you were sitting or the action of the treadle? I hope you're feeling better soon. Feelin' great, you bet! I'll take another perk-o-set! ;) Doug<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8081','Doug'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8081','Doug','Hey Regan,\nI really don\'t mean this to sound snarky, honest. \nYou were spinning on Sunday for the first time in quite a while, could that have contributed to the pain in your leg and back?
