Re: Sciatica! Sciatica!

do you have a foam roller yes have you been using it? not suggesting it'll be a cure all by any means, but some serious foam rolling can make a world of difference, especially if you can figure out the area where it's triggering What exactly am I supposed to be rolling? This isn't a muscular issue.

I typically think of an artist I want to listen to and then go through their albums in sequence.

If I need a longer, more random playlist, I create a radio station based off an artist. I have a few of those set to download on my phone so I always have music if I'm offline.
