you need a good body rub and body message.

I have a similar problem that is not going away. My sciatic nerve is bothering me big time.

It used to just hang around for a few weeks, but just dosen't seeem to want o go away. This is the first time this is happening.

I found a guy not too far from me who has a concoction that's beeen working for him for the past 10 years. I hope it works for me too, because I really don't like taking 8 bayers a day.

Pac...I had the same problem and a chiropractor worked it out for me. It's been a chronic thing, but episodes are now years apart.

Elizabeth, one thing I learned when I started to work in stores is that your body needs time to adjust if you haven't worked those muscles. I know it's not the same as a sport, but I remember when I used to go skiing and the first time was the roughest on my legs. When I was working at a desk for months and then went back to working on my feet all day, my back was so stiff I'd get "stuck." I mean, I suddenly couldn't move! After daily exercise, I slowly adjusted to the pace. I wonder if that's what you are experiencing. I worked 2 days in a store a few months ago and had to leave because I couldn't get out of bed on Wednesday. I think I'm a bit older than you, however. Yet when I worked 9 hours a day for a long time, I got used to it.   I had a bad accident in the 80s and was in the hospital for a very long time, so I understand what sciatica is, since I have it 24/7. The economy is very tough and I see men & women in their 70s stocking shelves at the market, so hang in there and think of that paycheck! Don't be stupid like I was when I often gave up too soon. I hope you don't think I'm trivializing your dilemma, but if you are in debt as you've written before, you might want to hang on for a while. Do they let you talk to the other people while you're working? Laughter and some good conversation can make a day go by a lot faster. Good luck.
