Another great podcast guys, thanks!
Sorry to hear about your sciatica Vic. As a former sufferer (down the left leg, same as yourself), I can certainly sympathise - the pain was like nothing I had ever experienced.
I hope it clears up soon. I ended up having an operation to sort mine.
Word to the wise... watch the Tramadol, it's a strong painkiller (and pretty effective) but it's also an opiate so, don't just quit them 'cold turkey'. You need to reduce the dosage slowly. Otherwise, get ready for a bad trip including (but not limited to) hallucinations, restless leg syndrome and insomnia! Not fun.
Get well soon. Looking forward to the next podcast.
