Sometimes I feel a twinge that quickly reminds me to find a hidden place and stretch right now!

Wow, you beat me to it.

Losing some weight, lots of walking, and stretches have pretty much eliminated my hideous bouts of sciatic pain.

So . . . last week, I was hit by a car while walking my dog. The car also hit a utility pole, slowing it, so I "only" got a broken rib and got hurled into a fence and bounced off into a crumpled heap. Big swollen bruises on my hips, thighs, and knees, constant back ache and stiffness . . . and honestly, that was LESS painful than sciatic nerve attacks.
