Dont give up,I also suffer from sciatica,and as I said before in my journal I suffer very badly from pains in my heels and its hard to walk when I stand up, and I also suffer from phlipitis (spelt wrong)so in actually fact the doc tells me dont sit down and try keep walking as much as I can,How unrealistic is that. I know and feel the pain your are in, its like your whole body is like jelly and sever pain. So keep on the site, let us know when its to much AND SOME ONE OUT THERE WILL SUPPORT YOU.Stay strong and you will do it Xxxxx Carmel
