Thank you all for answers hope you are all ok tonight

I have very severe sciatica at the moment,pain in buttocks,lower back, the pain mostly goes nearly all the way down both legs. It's horrible I hope you are not suffering so bad xx

I have sciatica. I've had an injury to my lower back, then a period of gluteal injections, then worked a number of years in care (which puts a huge strain on the back) and a compressed disc in lower spune 3 years ago and more recently an mri scan showed a deterioration in the bones there. My upper back cracks all the time and is a huge source of pain, causing an irritated nerve in my neck.

So I do a lot of physical therapies that strengthen the back and muscles that support it and that promote correct posture.

Stretching out the glueal muscles really helps to relieve my sciatic pain.
