How has that Sanya motorcycle been working for you? I am curious if you have had any problems with it.

I hope you have not had any accidents, either.

Cheers.

Andy,

Does the pain go down your leg or does it stay in hip/butt/lower back? It could be your sacroiliac joint in your pelvis. Prolonged sitting in an uncomfortable seat (such as on the Thailand-USA flight) could be straining the joint.

Best of luck with it. Hope it goes away.

Hi Andy,

I'm not a doctor but from what I understand if the pain goes down the leg then it is indeed the sciatic nerve. Most likely a disc in your spine impinging on the nerve. It's apparently very common.

Do you use a pillow behind your back when sitting for long periods? Bus and airplane seats must be designed by either:
1.) evil people
2.) people who never actually sit in the seats they design

I've always found them uncomfortable without a pillow or two stuffed behind my lower back.

You might be able to find some shoes or inserts for your shoes which help reduce the constant pounding on your spine.

Good luck to you. Maybe I'll see you in West Africa.

Chiropractor is a good idea. They can also check to see if your pelvis is misaligned. This is hard to figure out by yourself and can be a partial cause of the problem.

Is there any numbness in your leg?

Also, don't keep taking Tylenol for more than 4 days - it will damage your liver!

Not exactly an inviting sign, despite the considerable talent of the artist.

Apparently they specialize in dentures:

PS: Hope your the pain has subsided. Take it easy out there.
