Hot weather problem

Forgot to mention Aspro clear isn't sold in the UK it's been band because the EU said it has too much salt. This is what made me think the salt content had an affect on my pain.

Do you think it could be sciatica? Only saying as l get a similar thing, like a nerve pain. It wakes me up in the night and yet in the daytime when l move about its not so bad. I"ve been taking Cocodomol as l can't take Ibuprofen and shouldnt really use the gel but l have done and it does give some relief.

It sounds like sciatica. Try lying on a heated pad or hot water bottle. If it persists you should see a physiotherapist who may show you some helpful exercises. Good luck.

Also there's a condition called Piriformis which is similar to sciatica but you'd have to google that as l am no good with links.

No it was definitely the water/salt issue. Once I was adequately hydrated with a little salt the pains left

I think I read an article de-criminalising salt and telling us we have been given duff info about it being dangerous! Everything in moderation, I say. My brother and the crew who were in the merchant navy were given salt tablets to take in sub and sub tropical zones.
