Sciatica?
Anybody had it?
I've had some pain in my left leg, running through my hamstring and down the outside of my gastroc muscle for awhile. It kind of feels like I continually need to stretch my leg, which I've been trying to do. This weekend, I started having a little numbness in my toes (after a workout, gone now), which is when I started worrying/googling (which is how I came to sciatica). My left leg has almost given out on me a couple of times sort of spontaneously, though that's just as easy to blame on the Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, so I haven't given that much thought.
Google says that it should resolve on its own, especially aided by stretching. Anybody with any particular stretches to do? Is there any point at which I should see a doctor (I really don't want to)? What kind of doctor would I go to, my normal orthopod?
My left leg is kind of important to me; with my right ankle fused/achy and my right hip sore, I end up strongly favoring my left leg (as evidenced by my shoes). Anybody?
