« on: August 05, 2020, 07:58:27 PM »

Yep that sounds like sciatica: pain down the legs which should ease with walking.  I get it when I haven't knelt to pick stuff off the floor or whilst weeding.

Indigestion is common - as oestrogen levels drop so muscles may become lax including the digestive tract.  I get dreadful acid reflux .

Browse round. make notes ;-)
