Thanks for replying so quickly. I just wanted to clarify a couple of things (and not ina grumpy way!). Surgery was never an option for me. It seems the first point of action for any condition that confuses defence medical staff. It's good for compensation payouts, but that in my experience that’s the only benefit. Although doctor I had was against anything invasive, the surgeon I think needed to justify his over paid existance. The sciatic pain, I know to have been caused by the inflammation of the muscle around the prolapsed discs applying pressure on the S1 nerve. I know it was just a crappy symptom of the injury. Mostly non existant now thanks any higher power that want's to claim it!

It's funny that the medical professionals I have encountered along my journey of injury and rehabilitation, have all become seemingly pale when I mention the rock climbing. Warning me against such an activity. But here I find out that it is in fact, in some way at lest, beneficial. It honestly hadn't occured to me that climbing was a form of traction. It explains alot, and convienently give me a fantastic reason to climb. Said reaching down to grab my CB and boots, 'Sorry boss, I cant. I have to head to Physio!'

Thanks guys.
