Sciatica.

Ruby2015

Hello everyone, I suffer from osteoarthritis,Fibromyalgia and Polymyalgia Rheumatica. I’ve had one shoulder replacement and one hip replacement. I’m waiting for more operations and procedures; goodness knows when they will happen!!

20 years ago I suffered a lumbar spine injury, but am still suffering from sciatica. Are there any exercises that could relieve it please?

Thank you!
