Hi Everyone,
If anyone can advise me about the relationship of hip arthritis to Sciatica I'd be grateful.
I had no idea that sciatica could be caused by hip problems, but MrT mentioned in January that he had a hip replacement because of Sciatic Pain.
Before my THR I had sciatic pains in both calves when going uphill. I had assumed that the pain was caused by my herniated lumbar discs, and have worked a lot on improving my lower back. Now it seems my hips may well have been the cause, since my new hip has totally cured that side's sciatic calf pain, but I don't know of any exercises (other than standard ROM) for my non-operated hip (also mildly arthritic) that might help. Any info gratefully received.
Thanks.
Nick
