LJ do you know anyone that has an Inversion Table that you can try. A friend of mine had one and said it would take Sciatica away, so the next time it hit me I called her up and went over and “hung unside down” it worked in less than 30 seconds.
I bought one at an auction and every time it hits, I go hang upside down and the pain is gone within a minute.
Hope you get to try it. I know it works for 2 of us in the world.
DH picked up a used one for free and has started using it, he has neck pain fairly often, had injuries. After lying on it his neck feels much better, stretched out, and spine gets adjustments. It doesn’t have to be totally upside down like a bat, can be just tilted. I will keep your recomemndation in mind. Normally I had being upside down or anything approximating it. I should try it.
