Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Hi Flynn.

I would recommend you find yourself a good physiotherapist who should definatly be able to help you

flynn, The trapped nerve is likely to be in your lower back. Wot Millie10, said.

Yep - go to the physio. I agree it's likely in your back. I have spinal arthritis and had severe episode of trapped nerve(s) this summer to the point I couldn't walk and had a large area of numbness in my leg. Exercises from physio, anti-inflammatories/pain relief from GP and time have largely resolved it.

Firstly - get professional help - but it sounds like sciatica to me - especially if the pain moves around, up and down the length of the leg / thigh

Check out Dr George Best on youtube at

What causes sciatica:

Two exercises he describes in other videos really helped me:
Exercise1:

Exercise2:

You may want to check out Exercise2 first to see what type of sciatica you have - assuming it is sciatica

I can't watch the above videos now as I'm at work but I'm a physiotherapist and would recommend getting assessed properly before starting any specific exercises / movements that might have helped other peoples back problems Little Angel as some could really aggrevate your injury.

Not that I'm going to try to diagnose a back problem over the internet but I may be able to point you in the right direction if you could answer the following:

How long have you had the pain?
Do you remember doing anything that caused it? A certain activity or movement?
Do you have pain all the time, even at rest?
Is there a certain position that eases it? Better lying / sitting / standing / walking?
Any pins or needles in your back or legs or any numbness anywhere?
The pain that goes down your leg, does it go down the back of your leg or the front? Does it go into your foot, if so which toes?

Second finding a good physio and getting properly assessed...

I spent 3 months with some irish physio only getting worse... flew back to Oz and booked an appointment with the local guy - 3 appointments in a week and all pain gone and I had a heap of exercises to keep it at bay... Why the difference - he tells me my nerve configuration is a little unusual and she was assuming from the pain that the location of the problem was in a different location than it actually was...
