Sciatica, it turns out, is no fun. After a week of being unable to sleep because of the burning sensation running down my leg, coupled with some excruciating lower back pain, I realised that I should probably do something about it. But I was at a bit of a loss. I think of myself as being reasonably healthy for a 52-year-old bloke. I’m not overweight, I cycle to work most days and I took up running a couple of years ago: 10km around the neighbourhood is now part of my weekend routine.
