    I’ve had meniscus surgery in both knees, and still have severe pain in the left knee. I have a lot of difficulty with the pigeon stretch as well as the figure 4 stretch. Any suggestions for alternative sciatica stretches?

    Excellent explanation of a key point in dealing with this. I just had to have epidurals to get the pain from herniated disc under control, and am embarking on learning the right exercises to deal with this herniated disc. Thanks.

    Great exercises. My concern is just when I can get back to playing tennis and golf! I’ve never been out of action for more than a week and after my Gym injury I’d been without these sporting activities for nearly 16 weeks! It’s been very difficult for me. The Dr wanted to operate on my back, but many people advised my otherwise. My MRI-scan looks good with good spacing between the vertebrae – just a small narrowing between Lumber 3 and L 4. I started these rehabilitating exercises this week so would it be ok to play golf this coming Saturday (4 days away)?

    If your sciatica come from a piriformis syndrom, yes it will help you, if it comes only from a herniated disc which is irritating the L5 and/or S1 nerves, I really don’t see how it could improve your condition!?
    It even could make your pain worse during the exercise because of the flexion of the spine you have to do in many of them…
    I really would like to know from where come the the “medically proven”…….
