hi i have been
having treatment for for sciatica for the
last four weeks now i started having back
pain about three months ago though but
thought i would get over it by nursing but
the pain got so bad i finally went to the
docs who sent me or physcio i got an
appointment for that about one week later
but two days before i went i noticed my
right foot would not lift as high as my
left and within two days i could not lift
it at all and the pain was the worse pain
iv ever felt (even after having two kids
)the physcio said it was drop foot coursed
by a trapped nerve probably due to a
prolapsed disc so i am now on the waiting
list to see a consultant but usual there
is a long waiting list and from what i
have read about this nerve being trapped
time is of the essence as the longer it
goes on the less likely it is i will
regain the use of my foot is there anyone
who has had this and regained the use back
without any opps or just by its self or is
it what i expect and im going to stuck
like this forever 
i live out in the
country and have to rely on others to take
me shopping and to doctors appointments
and i know they dont mind but i hate
having to ask and rely on someone other
than myself well thanks for listening and
please write back if you have the time
