Hi I'm 60 yrs young
I have a history of back pain and sciatica on my right leg.

I have had no real pain for the last 5 years but the right side of my back is a little stiff and tender.

I've recently started skiing great fun and exciting.
Trouble is on the day after, after One hours skiing, my right leg feels "displaced" and strange. I feel like I need to wriggle my muscles in,or shake it stright, to try to get the "nick" out of it.
My piriformis my be tight.

It "straightens" it self out after a few days.

I once did a Two hour skiing run and my leg was really bad after that.

Any suggestions re treatment or should I forget about skiing?

Thanks
