lmao some oooold dude with a walker in the gym warned me about this while I was doing OHP early on when I started working out, I had no clue what he was talking about and I still have no idea
the sciatic nerve is a motor nerve, which means it is essential for movement. You also have sensory nerves which govern sensation. Damage to a motor nerve will result in paralysis and decreased function, as well as excruciating pain. The most common problem with sciatic nerve pain and damage is called foot drop, where you are unable to dorsiflex your foot, which significantly alters your gait and likely exacerbates any kind of underlying issue that caused the sciatic nerve damage in the first place.
lmao i had this once, because i squatted a lot for work because gardener and that somehow killed my nerves, but they all regenerated in like 3 months so its all cool. But was annoying as fuck to just bot be able to lift your foot
Stand up and walk bro. You are not designed to be sitting down for most of your life, and that's where sciatica/lower back pain comes from. Get a standing desk, walk around. That's literally the cure
Get a microdiscectomy. I currently have a disc bulge in my L5-S1. Idk how cunts go in with life without getting it treated. Maybe it's due to ignorance.
back surgery is awful, take 6-12 months and do nothing but dedicate your time to your back injury and do lots of corrective exercise. Go to pain management if the pain is bad, if after 12 months you are still in excruciating pain, then consider back surgery. Back surgery tends to be really good for the short term, but success rates tend to fall precipitously after long term, like 10-15 years.
Ive been having a weird ache in my ass when sitting, Im pretty sure I have piriformis syndrome. Theres two pain points, outside of hip and right in the middle of my buttcheek. Only give me grief when sitting, but it makes no sense as im not sitting with much pressure on it.
L4-L5 disc bulge reporting in. It did not happen during lifting and isn't so severe, luckily. It's been like 8 or 9 weeks now and the pain was manageable and seems to be getting better on its own after I added lumbar support when I am sitting. I'm really trying to focus on good posture now.
Forever? No. It happened to me. I got drunk with a friend, slept on his couch & woke up with nerve damage, would've been 2014. Anyway, it took about a year to go away but it did. The shooting pain up & down my left glute, hamstring and calf was interesting
I had a full blow out rupture in my L4/L5 disc and tore my Si joint in an accident about 8 years ago now. I couldn’t really walk for 3 months and the sciatic pain was so bad I couldn’t sleep more than 3 hours at a time until they put me on a ton of pills. My quality of life was so horrible I atrophied from 183lbs to about 150 within 6 months. I was in physical therapy and in and out of specialists that wanted to fuse my vertibrae together but I said fuck no. I often thought about killing myself very seriously.
Glad I didn’t though. I started doing spinal decompression hangs and saw the first sign of real improvement after 6 months. It took me a full year until I was able to run normally and exercise lightly again. I’ve had issues with my back since and slipped the same disc 2 additional times in the last 2 years which was more emotionally damaging than anything.
As of two weeks ago I got myself a personal trainer in a body building gym that can help me rebuild my strength from total ground zero in a safe way and I’m starting 200mg of test per week on Monday to help things move forward.
This is the best I’ve felt physically and emotionally in 8 years and I couldn’t be more excited to not only get back to my previous level of health and fitness, but surpass it.
We’re all gonna it make it bros, just please be careful with your backs.

At least you have sex.
Hey I learned about this in Anatomy class today! 😀

i had never before heard of this nerve bundle before last year
It's intermittent and the VA gives me 100% disability for it so it's not so bad.

Back surgery frightens me tbh
All it takes is one slip up and you’re done for real

I have had on/off sciatic pain since I started lifting at 17yo.

Riding a bike fixed mine. I used to have chronic problems with it and after I started riding regularly it completely stopped flaring up.
