I'd forgotten how much sciatica doesn't like wet weather.

Ow. Ow. OWWWW.

Poor guy!

Have you gone to a chiropractor for this yet? That was the only way I beat my sciatica. But then again, I'm a chiropractor junkie, so you must take my word with a big helping of salt. :}

I'm so sorry. Have you thought about buying those microwaveable cornhusk pillows to war your poor self?

seriously, wtf? My mom thinks I have it. There's something weird that hurts in what I call my hip but my mom says is my tush. It's kinda like where my hip meets my tush. Like the bone hurts or something, mostly when I get up from sitting, and it makes me walk funny. Sicatica, or not sciatica? The only plus part is that "sciatica" is really fun to say. :P

Oh, you'll like this, then--you might have piriformis!

Sciatica's when something rubs up against the sciatic nerve (usually a slipped disk); you get pain sensations anywhere from your calf to your butt and anywhere in between, all up and down the left leg. Which...feh.

Your pain sounds more localized than that, and it sounds like what my friend has. The piriformis is a butt muscle, and piriformis syndrome is when the area around that--the butt, the outer hip--hurts. There a couple different things that could cause it, including (I love this) one leg being slightly longer than the other.

Sorry to hear you're hurting!
