Much better sleep last night, didn't wake. Woke feeling very stiff and tight in the back but the sciatica was okay. Happy me.

Similar to yesterday. Not mad sore but starts to get uncomfortable if the painkillers start to wear off. Legs okay though, Base of spine is the worst bit now.

Feeling tired and wiped out, side effect of paracetamol /ibuprofen maybe? Top of my head also sore. Enough drugs to not be hurting l, but still uncomfortable if I don't keep topped up immediately.

Drove to work so I could get on the road early. Some sore bits during the day but driving was actually okay. Snowing in Yorkshire.

Back and legs still very painful, diagnosed as sciatica by Dr Rob, which sounds like it may be right to me. Not much today other than keep taking drugs and wait for it to get better though.

IW. Woke early with my legs hurting more than last night. Felt okay cycling but in a lot of discomfort at my desk. Paracetamol seemed to do the job.

HFW. Again, more paracetamol needed but legs weren't hurting when cycling. Cool evening.

MDC run from HQ. Passed the site of the body from Sunday. Must have been well in the woods as there was no sign of it from the nearby path. Pain in my legs was much worse than I was expecting running, not so bad going uphill but couldn't stride out at all and all downhill hurt a lot. As soon as I started I could remember feeling like this sometime reasonably recently and was wondering if it was last time I spent a bit of time on my road bike (think it must be a nerve issue and something must be aggravating it).

IW. The promised rain held off but it was plenty mushy.

HFW. A bit nippy with just a T-shirt under my jacket. May need a long top tomorrow. Very painful pain developing in my upper legs, can't think of a reason why.
