[QUOTE="traineefarmer, post: 7966215, member: 89974"] An update on my progress. The steroid epidural was a bit of a fail. It helped with some buttock pain which made sitting down more comfortable, but did very little to ease day to day movement and activities. My consultant suggested that I try ryzolosis, which involves destroying the nerves that send pain signals from my arthritic facet joints. This sounds extreme by I was assured it was very low risk. I had this proceedure a fortnight ago and have finished my resting/recovery period and it seems to have worked. I am more upright and can walk without pain. I still have to be very careful as bending/twisting and carrying too much weight can trigger a sciatica attack which can lay me up for hours. Hopefully being able to move around better and in less pain will also allow me to lose the excessive weight that I have gained, which will in turn help me further. Still not sure how to keep farming with the limited mobility though. [/QUOTE]
