Yo Doc,

Got a case of "false sciatica". Buttocks thru mid leg. Do I rest it or do I stretch it, Ice? Picked something up with straight legs not realizing how heavy it was. Got chiro yesterday to get the sacroliliac (sp) back in line.

False sciatica? Is that like a "silent but deadly?"

Sounds to me like you might have pulled hamstrings which would benefit from ice and heat alternated, gentle stretching (very gentle), and maybe some light massage.
