Questions & Answers

I have had Sciatica pain for a few weeks now in my right thigh muscle and it gets very sore and weak by the afternoon. I have been massaging Anti Inflamation gel into it and today it’s been massaged with FisioCrem a natural Arnica, Calendula and Hypercuim cream into it.

I has gotten worse these past 4 months and it's started affecting my legs as well so I use a walking stick to get around whenever I need to leave the house. I have noticed that whenever i walk into a room people would literally stop whatever they're doing and they'd just stare at me. The staring gets even worse when children start pointing at me.
