I had this for about 4 years on and off - I thought It would never go away. Now I’ve fully recovered after doing yoga, paying attention to the weight I carried (my backpack was unnecessarily heavy and I used it almost everyday) and sleeping correctly (posture). Helped me immensely! Hoping a full recovery for the rest of you all - the pain is unbearable
A decade ago I had a 9 month episode (piriformis syndrome). I didn’t know what was going on and continued to aggravate it with daily activities until it was unbearable. When it was finally diagnosed, I found a manual for physical therapists online and tried everything. I stuck with the exercises and stretches that felt good (hip abduction was key for me then), added lower back support cushions to everything I sit on, removed caffeine and other stressors from my life, started swimming laps (breast stroke for hip abduction), eventually started running distance and climbing mountains, and it became a distant memory. So keep doing the work, you can recover. 4 weeks ago it came back from digging a ditch. I’m doing all the work but it’s different this time because it was caused differently. Your channel has been so helpful to get a different perspective on this! This time it’s a combo of piriformis and SI so dead bug exercise variations are my best friend right now 🙌 Hoping this passes soon, feels like I’m on the downhill.
I'm 40 and a week ago I got sciatica for the first time in my life, the pain is really unbearable and I'm really scared it's going to stay forever, I'm in bed and only go to the bathroom and kitchen and do physio exercises in bed, I noticed that after a hot shower there is improvement of a few hours. The truth is I did not expect to receive 2022 with such a "gift". The video encouraged me a bit that it would eventually pass because I actually got into anxiety and depression because of it. It's hard to be confined to home and nursing.
I was at gym daily up to Halloween, and Wham woke up one nite with intense "Charlie horse" type electric pain that lasted for hours on end, for three weeks barely slept, thought I was going to have a breakdown. My back Dr put me on a strong Anti-inflammatory, and OxCy to help me get thru the worst. I am on Week 9. One month ago I got a Steroid Epidural in Spine, and I think that helped most. Don't let this go too long, even now I am still struggling with the same sensations down buttock and leg, knee, and both legs are weak. Managing one walk a day, can't do stairs. Went from Athletic to laying around the house all day. If the pain is intense get something from your Dr to get you through the worst. Hot shower and heat helps me alot. I see Ortho Surgeon this week. GET an MRI too while you are at it, mine shows spurs putting pressure on nerves
Been dealing with this since Nov 2021. Started getting better through exercises and decompression but experiencing a relapse right now :( Weak left leg and pain again ugh
I'm going threw the exact same thing. 5 days with no sleep. I am depressed, alone and cry alot. I can't even walk. I just turned 40 also. The hot bath did help at 1st but not so much anymore plus I'm scared after so many days awake of falling asleep and drowning in the tub. I hope by some miracle something helps fast.
Wow me too. I got sciatica a day after my birthday Jan 11. I had My Sister, drop me off at the ER. It’s been about 3 weeks now and I only can walk in the house. Short distance. Then I have to lay back down. I can’t go to physical therapy because I don’t want to re-injure my sciatica by walking. If I walk for two long The electricity and heat begins to go down my leg and thigh to my foot, that’s when I know I need to head back to the bed. Although it is better than what it was at the beginning. However I am hopeful it’s going to get better, After I came from the ER I could barely walk, and how to get straight into the bed. I could not sit up stands for long. So to be able to go to the kitchen it’s helpful for me.
I also started my 2022 with sciatica pain for the first time, it’s been two months and it hasn’t gone away. I will be starting physical therapy in a couple weeks I hope that helps make it go away. 🙏😢
since 1.5 years I have this pain and it comes back again and again...I am so pissed off..Sometime i can even walk or sit....let’s pray for each other ...I can’t live with forever 😣😣😣😣
I was doing a lot of heavy lifting, and one day I played volley ball. Woke up the next morning and couldn’t even tie my shoe or get out of bed. I was in extreme pain, this was 3 years ago at the age of 24. Years later I started to stretch, cardio and core workouts. Lost a lot of weight, however I still have minor sciatica pain which sucks. But im learning how to mediate it and maintain the pain
How r u now Its been a month since i got injured I tried to increased m'y foot steps and ended up agraviating piriformis syndrome thé pain Travel down thé heel Now i cant walk only move at home from kitchen to bathroom
I'm a FedEx driver and I'm currently having sciatica so bad that I can barely go from my desk to my bathroom without extreme pain where my leg locks up and I collapse. my l&i appointment is in 4 days and I'm 28. wish me luck.
I had sciatica for about 4 months last year. I was in pain anything I stood up. It came back about a week ago terribly. I couldn’t even sit or lay down. Was in horrendous pain for about 3 days straight. I would recommend you all try running. Lose weight. That’s what helped me the first time. I know as soon as I get a little bit better again I will go back to running and losing weight. The stretches help temporarily because we are giving the nerve space to breathe, but losing weight will also release stress on the nerve. Also Marijuana helps
How do you run with the pain..i cant even walk more than few hundred meters without having massive exhaustion on my back. Im suffering so much these days ..i cant even sit on the chair 😥
You don't have to run at first, start with diet and try to lose weight by reducing your daily calories, than start to walk and increase your walking times, running is the last thing really.
Been having this since I was like 15 but it was never anything major until now. Now I’m 23 and it kills me to just even walk to the bathroom, worst pain ever.
Lasts for life! I've had it 25 years now! Eases up in summer soon as winter hits it's back with the cold draught on your lower back from sitting near windows or bending at work all day! The trapped nerves in your leg eases off but your back never will! Never use ice only heat or u will make it 10 time's worse!
I've had broken legs and let me tell you, this sciatica and herniated disc is 10 times worse. 7 weeks now. The first 3 weeks were torture. Couldn't walk sleep or sit. Sharp pains in my lower right back and hip every night for 3 weeks. It's a little better but still get sharp pains at night. I think it takes more than 4 to 6 weeks to heal. More like 2 to 3 months.
I hit Two months today and I was having a lotta relief with the chiropractor on the decompression table and with the laser treatment but I was moving and lifting boxes one day and that aggravated it. Also make sure if you go to chiropractor that do not pull on your leg to try to pop it because that can aggravated it as well!!
I’m having the same thing currently. First week could not walk or move was almost in tears. Utterly savage pain. Second week lower back fractionally better but hip and leg still having very sharp pain and cannot sleep or get comfortable most of the time. Highly annoying. Taking ibuprofen and paracetamol for the pain but doesn’t seem to do much. Also don’t want to be taking tons of meds really. I’ve had back pain quite badly for a long time since my twenties (over forty now) but it’s never been this bad. Second week off work as I can’t sit or drive or concentrate due to the pain. I’m hoping it recovers soon it’s an awful thing I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone (well maybe I would depending on what they’d done)! Savage.
I've had this for about 3 years. I just now decided to look up what it is... I can only sleep on my back or my right side, and sitting on most things that aren't cushioned causes pain to my left leg. I hate this lol
Good to know we aren’t alone my whole nervous system is messed up but the sciatica is the worst I’m 3 years in if it wasn’t for my daughter needing me I’m pretty sure I would have already taken my own life by now
@@lockministry I got this pain in 8th standard and now I'm in 11th class Now my whole lower body is paining but I'm happy to see that I'm not alone.😁 Anyways one day we have to die .
I am having it for constant 20+ years have taken all the drugs available nothing works it made me leave my job and I have lost all motivation hope you recover while I am going to kill myself soon
MY SCIATICA IS SO SEVERE I CANT STAND UP OR WALK, I LIVE BY MYSELF AND CRAWL ON THE FLOOR, NO HEALTH INSURANCE , THE PAIN IS HORRIBLE, I STRETCH, DECOMPRESS FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF THAN LATER IT SEEMS TO AGGRAVATE IT MORE.🦁
I had episodes since I was 29. (severe ones) but with med and physiotherapy was healing within a week. Now I m 42, it s been 13 months now, tried meds, physiotherapy, anti inflammatory epidural injection. and last June i had the disco gel treatment. I started swimming. I feel much better 90% of the pain is gone. The real problem is that the nerve was so irritated that it keeps sending pain signals to the brain (but nothinng that the MRI revealed) I mean that nerve treatment is taking long, sometimes our brain is playing a silly game to us...there s no inflamation but the signals are being sent for protection....The postures that we use during pain become a habit to our brai
I had sciatica on and off for 8 years. The last year was 80% of the time I wasn't in my recliner I was in level 7 - 10 someone please cut my leg off pain. I had to get my L5 S 1 fused. The sciatica went away. That was 5 years ago. This year it's back again. Slowly getting worse. I'm not out of shape. 6 ft 170 lb Carpenter that takes 5-7 mile walks on my days off just to get up and moving. If I sit around it just makes the pain worse. I hope this time I can beat it with a different approach.
All of this is funny I do exercises to help with the pain. I take medicine I work and barely lift anything heavy and 2 and a half years later I'm still having problems everyday all day long and nothing chsnges
You guys are scaring me, I actually want to cry. I can't live with sciatica forever??? My mental health is solely dependant on weight lifting. Idk how I'm gonna do this. Props to all of you.
@@lukepepper906 look for stretches that work for you and do those 3 times a day. Follow up with a walk also get in the tub and put your back on the water really hot or cold.

Does anyone else have sciatica pain shooting down leg like electricity when the season starts to change? I am having pain every 3 months right around the change of the season. Thank y’all for the help
It took exactly 3 weeks to feel normal again. I was on bed most of the time during those first 3 weeks. In the mornings and evenings i was taking 20min walks - crazy painful but i think it kept me motivated. Also i was doing the recommended exercises - 2 or 3 times a day, not more . I am just starting my 9th week after the crisis. I am alittle bit worried as there is still some electricity down my leg when i walk fast or uphill. I do gym with almost body weight workouts and swim. however, i am not even close to 50% capability.
Currently in the same situation. It's been 3 months since the pain started and it hasnt go away completely, but much better than at the beggining. The first week I couldnt even walk well.
What stroke you swim I am afraid it agravates my condition m'y injury IS piriformis Syndrome Thé sciatic nerve pain gots to thé foot i cant walk How r u now Hope you recovered fully
I have had sciatica for 4 months I have been icing every night during the day take pain pills. Advil and stretching all day and go to the chiropractor and even got the injection done still dealing with pain not as bad but has not gone away completely
I have a small bulge at my l5-s1. It is enough to push on the nerve and I feel the sciatica especially in my toes and feet. But I have healed a lot from a couple of things. My pain went from first a 3 on good days to a depressing 6 on bad to a 1 on good days and 3 on bad. A- it took 6 months to help it B- I do core exercises that don’t require the hip flexors to activity (a modified plank with little strain on my hips) also slow and controlled crunches but I don’t lift to high. For my back I have a high enough love seat I can do reverse hyper extensions on to build strength back. C. I quit lifting and now do basic calisthenics like pull-ups and push-ups. Don’t squat! I was a very good squater back in the day with a 425 lb atg squat without a belt and knee wraps. Now I’d be happy to even do 225 but in order to not be depressed about my strength loss, I do ALOT of walking forwards and backwards. My leg muscles are still surprisingly good just from it. D. Lose weight. I lost 25 lbs. I was a case of working to hard at my job and lifting weights. But I feel that a majority of people are from sitting to long and being overweight. I have a family member that’s 300 lbs and complains about back pain and sciatica issues. I can 100 percent guarantee if that person lost weight, they’d be in a lot less pain.
How are you now I played college ball and squatting and deadlift but I have it up after becasue of that but was never hurt, I hurt it at work a bread route I’m fuct too becasue im off the books are you 100 percent
@@ZeDe-lo7lf and why are you so quiet about such a horrible disorder? You should immediately book a private MRI to find out how badly your discs are buldging or herniating. Then a private neurosurgeon consultation will allow you to know if you just need physiotherapy, walking, swimming etc to recover or if you need surgery.
My dad has this from 8+ years he is so pain but still working I feel so bad for him he tried everything literally everything, last option is surgery but neurologist said don't do surgery it is dangerous may lead to paralysis, and success chances of this surgery are also low
I am 28 yrs old got my epidural and I am on my exercises fully now I have no low back pain but slight sciatica still persists hope it will gone soon...
I'm 25 and I have it for the first time. From what I'm reading from these comments people have this for years??? Like shit, I can't live with this my whole life.
Ive had it for 2 years im 21 now. It never actually fully goes away (almost like mental illnesses) you can just do certain things to keep it away, or keep the pain at bay.
I have been living with sciatica for 6 years. I went to different professionals for help, and the chiropractor helped me with back pain. But, I live with pain every day, it'son my right leg right to the foot. It's difficult to drive long distance and I no longer take pain pills because I am tired. 💔💔
I am a frequent gym goer and I’m 25 and I’m currently facing sciatica for the first time. This hurts so much I can’t even stand up straight and look people in the eye. I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy the pain is so hurtful I almost cry
I got mine on May 10th . It's now Sept 8th. It started off as bad back pain. Then shifted into my left leg, a few days later into my right leg, then back into my left leg and stayed. I can walk with minor pain. But when I sit. They lean forward or turn certain ways n gets extreme pain. When sleeping my leg throbs all night. I feel like I'm going crazy with pain.
My pain specialist doctor told me that my sciatica would last forever, I would never recover and would need surgery. I've had it many years and have seen so many different doctors and specialists with little or no relief. The pain keeps getting worse & worse. I'm confined to staying at home all the time.
I been having sciatica for 4 years now🥺😬been going to physical therapy and still in pain😓but getting a MRI soon to see if I need surgery or shots on my back I’m in pain everyday sitting to long,,driving,walking or even bending right now I’m laying down and I’m in pain😩😭😭please god take this pain away🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've had it for 4 months and I decided to stop working for a month and currently taking a break right now. It's already feeling better but when I sit to game and I stand up, that shit hurts
I have chronic sciatic. It’s been almost 5 yrs. Epidurals, ablations, trigger point injections, water therapy, chiropractor, acupuncture.. nothing has helped. I see a podiatrist for a biomechanics study next. 🤞🏼
I use to recover from this within a few days to a week... now it is chronic going on to 2 years. Perhaps a toxic annular tear that needs to be properly diagnosed and then some minimal invasive intervention?
I just started having this pain from an old injury 15 years ago. I read it’s considered a disability. I want to continue to work and have a normal life. I’m currently taking a regular multivitamin with vitamin d, b complex, b12 high dose, Calm magnesium powder, Green tea with coconut oil daily. I’ve been in pain so far four days. I tried ibuprofen but I got hives. I’m taking a different pain medication but I don’t want to be on pain pills for months. I plan to do yoga, belly dance and get professional massage therapy.
I am suffering very badly any pain killer my spine is operated for compressed nerves and my left leg from knee to foot has no sensation. Now I am getting sensation but not much but sciatic muscle pain is too much can’t bear from butts to thighs and right down my foot I use Walker. I would be highly obliged if you help me. I am 62 years old. Thank you.
Generally takes about two weeks for me. Omg. In horrible pain. Nothing worked. Bed rest does help. Exercises don’t help me. OTC painkillers help if not severe. I called a doctor and he gave me prednisone which didn’t help. Thanks good information.
Sucks the joy out of life hey? Opiates are shit, so are NSAID drugs. Surgery is rarely successful and most experts have no idea. It took me years to fix mine. I really feel for anyone with sciatic pain of any aetiology.
Had it since I was about 16 I exercise almost daily but have to stop because sometimes the pain comes back at first it was unbearable and I couldn’t even walk without leaning sideways now it comes for like 2 to 4 weeks then I’ll be fine and be normal and then it’ll come back periodically I don’t even know how I got it and I feel so anxious that I’ll have this forever because I want to be a cop and I there’s times where I can barely sit up straight let alone move fast it’s depressing
Exactly happened to me....since 1.5 years I have this pain and it comes back again and again...I am so pissed off..Sometime i can even walk or sit....let’s pray for each other ...I can’t live with forever 😣😣😣😣
I've had sciatica four times and progressively got worse and longer every time. I live with back pain everyday and hope I never get sciatica because it will probably be my demise.
Why don’t you go get it checked out., There’s a lot they can do now.. injecting around the nerve..I’m 71.. got my foot caught in the stirrup anchor dragged., part of outcome was Sciatica.. but it hasn’t bothered me too much until about a week ago ., had to drive 4 hrs to get a car I’d bought and thrn4 hrs home., I didn’t have seat adjusted properly. Oh boy., have been in agony for a week in lockdown amd vomiting with the pain. I’m not going to spend my Old age with this.. so I’m goi v to have it investigated properly., so I know what’s wrong., not going thru old age AND sciatica.. so anything they can do, suits me!!
When I was 13 I had sciatic pains and it completely ruined my 7th grade year I couldn’t sit In class and I couldn’t focus because of the pain so I would go to the nurses office for 30 minutes to lay down daily it started around November and went away June I was relieved that it was gone and I was so happy until it came back late January and I’m 15 I will say it’s not as bad as last time I can sleep sit down the only time I have pain is when I walk but I just hope it goes away soon because life sucks right now :(((((
I have been suffering from sciatica since 2018… Once it came it never went away, I have done everything the specialist told me… nothing has helped, at this point I don’t believe anything or anyone could help me.
I am 71 years old and woke up with this one morning after doing some normal back gym exercises, guess I just did something wrong. Pain was very intense each morning and gradually improved the more I moved but felt like an electric shock each time I took a step. After two weeks of feeling awful I went to see an acupuncture, Doctor. After the first visit I had less pain the following morning. After 2nd visit, I again had less pain following morning. After 3rd visit most of my pain had gone away. I still have a slight (but livable) pain in my leg and a bit of numbness in my toes, but it was dramatic improvement that took less than 10 days total. I am going to back 1 or 2 more times and see if the doctor and help me more. I was HIGHLY skeptical of getting any improvement from acupuncture but was really pleasantly surprised by the results and would recommend others to give this a try. I was not getting ANY improvement taking steroids or Advil type drugs. Exercises were also not helping. I did take Gabapentin 300mg for a few days and it helped me sleep more than anything else. Walking helps a lot too. My regular MD was of no help at all.
I have been lifting weights since I was 15 years old now that I m 30 I have sciatica which doesn’t go away if I don’t stop lifting.Also I m a trainer which means that when I do classes I have to do deadlifts and barbell rows to teach the class .Please if you workout stop deadlifts and barbell rows you can’t imagine how I feel after this!I have been diagnosed with sciatica 2 years ago and only running improved it a little bit .
This pain sucks. Wish I can take ibuprofen but I can't I'm allergic so the only medicine I can take is Tylenol. I've been living with this pain on/off for 12 years now. If you read this God bless you 🙏
40 years I've had siatica pain tried every pill injection physio chiropractor acupuncture praying everything you can ever do every excersie still living with pain
I didn't take proper care of mine so when ever I got a pain I use to take injection never tried to test myself what's the problem. After a years I got affected I took MRI thn I got to know my disc got bulged. Well doctor said ur spine got degeneration
Hi i m having same trouble i have been doing stretches for four months and taking medicine but nothing worked. Is the surgery only way to get rid of the problem ? I would appreciate if u reply to my comment
Yes, agony. If possible, bend leg and stretch forward, both sides. I have PIRIFORMIS syndrome and gentle stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle, hamstring muscles, and hip extensor muscles help to decrease the pain along the sciatic nerve and improve range of motion in the hips.Once you get piriformis, expect relapse. I have found that if I do too many squats, I have a relapse. I am working on prevention now that I figured out what the problem is. I hope you get better soon.
Reading the comments on here, I’m not sure if I should be happy my sciatica went away as quickly as it came. Woke up one morning in agony, spent five weeks in bed apart from some very painful bathroom visits. I was using a bedpan for the first three weeks at least. I’m 82 in kidney failure so can’t take NSAIDS, so had to try with a mild AnaKhedive (Panadol). I think if it comes back I’ll take Ibuprofen, if it does my kidneys in, I’ve had my life anyway.
Good Luck, I am in week 9, had Spinal Epidural one month ago, and see an Ortho Surgeon this Friday. The first month I had it was EXCRUCIATING and NO Sleep, Thought I was going to SNAP psychologically - Christmas morning I pretty well had a melt down. Hope you never go through it again. It is HELL.
Ive had this for over 10 years now. Since I was 14 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Fell off a horse and just put it off as hip pain, finally after a chat with my grama I found out what it is and planning on getting treatment
@@jesuspawar7250 First is going to see a surgon right off the bat after years worth of chiropractor work. Once we get a full scan of everything, gonna try phys therapy and then surgery as last resort. I'll highly likely need surgery since i grew into an injury causing possible deformities on the damaged area. Plus I've been doing in-home therapy now for essentially a decade and my pain has just gotten worse this last year.
I've been in agony over Xmas. Have trouble sitting and my back and leg muscles go into spasms. Dr gave me diazapan and co codamol which made no difference whatsoever other than making me constipated. Got a phone appointment with physio in 2 weeks. Surely first step should be a scan to find cause then treat? Only thing seems to help is tens machine
I have scoliosis with a COMPLETE spinal fusion. I also have 5 herniated discs. I have had sciatica for about 3 years. With bouts of extreme pain about every 4-6 months
I have sciatica right now!!!! I’m still having to go too work it’s agony, I’ve tried stretching exercises but to no avail it’s that bad I can hardly walk at times. I’m only 48 and it’s getting me down I’ve also been told I can have injections to stop the pain from blocking the signals down my leg.
What do I do I’m restless at night I can’t sleep my nerves are irritated my knee is sore as ever I don’t wanna get out of bed I have chronic sciatica 😭
This is my second year. Pain progresed. Pain meds not working. Im now on gabapentin 300mg at night and still in pain. Started physical therapy again in November 2021. Epidural steroid injection did not help. Now I am looking for a pain clinic to help me. Having back pain 24/7 is debilitating! I have a disc bulge at L4-5 and L5-S1. Saw this new treatment for degenerative disc disorder but it’s still not covered by insurance. The treatment is discseel.
Idk if this is what I have but I had to get my hips aligned & now I have like pain on right side I can’t stand for too long or I can’t sit for a long time because it feels like pressure on it
I’ve been been taking ibuprofen tablets and ibuprofen gel was told it could do damage to your liver so stopped both didn’t realise but you get so desperate when your in so much pain I’ve had it for four weeks and it is hell got a telephone appointment with a physio hopefully she will help
I’ve been in 3 car accidents, I know that’s crazy. Only one was when I was driving. I get excruciating sciatica off and on but mostly when I’m too inactive.
Have a slip disc since 35 years and every 2 to 3 years am sufferinv the pain is always here though have done different exercises. Now since 1 month am suffering, have done 5 sessions of massage, visit a chiropractor and last thursday have done injection and taking some inflammatory drugs. Am not fully recovered
Had herniated disc ten years, before prolonged light traction fixed it. Got it again five years later, last may, this time, took longer, a year. So it worked again, not as well, still some sore. Going to keep stretching, so it won't come back

You are so correct it is the worst pain ever. Can you please tell me what exactly did you do to heal completely? Thankyou so much in advance!
eat garlic believe me 2/3 days it will go away
I almost seen hell.. Though dying day by day still not recovered, suffering from 1 yr

Went from Athletic to laying around the house all day. If the pain is intense get something from your Dr to get you through the worst. Hot shower and heat helps me alot. I see Ortho Surgeon this week. GET an MRI too while you are at it, mine shows spurs putting pressure on nerves
Been dealing with this since Nov 2021. Started getting better through exercises and decompression but experiencing a relapse right now :(
Weak left leg and pain again ugh
I'm going threw the exact same thing. 5 days with no sleep. I am depressed, alone and cry alot. I can't even walk. I just turned 40 also. The hot bath did help at 1st but not so much anymore plus I'm scared after so many days awake of falling asleep and drowning in the tub. I hope by some miracle something helps fast.
Wow me too. I got sciatica a day after my birthday Jan 11. I had My Sister, drop me off at the ER. It’s been about 3 weeks now and I only can walk in the house. Short distance. Then I have to lay back down. I can’t go to physical therapy because I don’t want to re-injure my sciatica by walking. If I walk for two long The electricity and heat begins to go down my leg and thigh to my foot, that’s when I know I need to head back to the bed. Although it is better than what it was at the beginning. However I am hopeful it’s going to get better, After I came from the ER I could barely walk, and how to get straight into the bed. I could not sit up stands for long. So to be able to go to the kitchen it’s helpful for me.
I also started my 2022 with sciatica pain for the first time, it’s been two months and it hasn’t gone away. I will be starting physical therapy in a couple weeks I hope that helps make it go away. 🙏😢
since 1.5 years I have this pain and it comes back again and again...I am so pissed off..Sometime i can even walk or sit....let’s pray for each other ...I can’t live with forever 😣😣😣😣
I know that feeling. It comes and goes and comes with full force? Do you have slipped disc?.how are u now?? Any remedies?
🙏🏻
Same for me! Reiki prayers love and light❤🙏

I was doing a lot of heavy lifting, and one day I played volley ball. Woke up the next morning and couldn’t even tie my shoe or get out of bed. I was in extreme pain, this was 3 years ago at the age of 24. Years later I started to stretch, cardio and core workouts. Lost a lot of weight, however I still have minor sciatica pain which sucks. But im learning how to mediate it and maintain the pain
How r u now
Its been a month since i got injured
I tried to increased m'y foot steps and ended up agraviating piriformis syndrome thé pain Travel down thé heel
Now i cant walk only move at home from kitchen to bathroom
I'm a FedEx driver and I'm currently having sciatica so bad that I can barely go from my desk to my bathroom without extreme pain where my leg locks up and I collapse. my l&i appointment is in 4 days and I'm 28. wish me luck.
Good luck
How did it go?
Good luck brother
Hey Aaron, how are you now?
I wish you well Aaron.
I had sciatica for about 4 months last year. I was in pain anything I stood up. It came back about a week ago terribly. I couldn’t even sit or lay down. Was in horrendous pain for about 3 days straight. I would recommend you all try running. Lose weight. That’s what helped me the first time. I know as soon as I get a little bit better again I will go back to running and losing weight. The stretches help temporarily because we are giving the nerve space to breathe, but losing weight will also release stress on the nerve. Also Marijuana helps
How do you run with the pain..i cant even walk more than few hundred meters without having massive exhaustion on my back. Im suffering so much these days ..i cant even sit on the chair 😥
You don't have to run at first, start with diet and try to lose weight by reducing your daily calories, than start to walk and increase your walking times, running is the last thing really.
careful with the Running, I ran my entire life, now 55, was told by THREE Drs this year GIVE IT UP.... its very hard on your body
Glad to hear the Marijuana is helping...😃
@@timothyj1966 how about speed walking ?
Been having this since I was like 15 but it was never anything major until now. Now I’m 23 and it kills me to just even walk to the bathroom, worst pain ever.

Den in bed for e months now. Going to the bathroom is a painful daily routine,I’m 8 1 yes old stop GOING to my PT, becouse I ,I can’t walk,

Had a tumor removed from my lower back and now I have sciatica. Shit is painful. Pray you all recover soon. Lets keep stretching
@@Sandeep_In_America did working out do you bad ? and by working out so u mean gym?
I've had this for the last 6 weeks ,extremely painful especially in my left calf muscle when I walk up hill .
Lasts for life! I've had it 25 years now! Eases up in summer soon as winter hits it's back with the cold draught on your lower back from sitting near windows or bending at work all day! The trapped nerves in your leg eases off but your back never will! Never use ice only heat or u will make it 10 time's worse!
Not what most physicians recommend but you do you
I've had broken legs and let me tell you, this sciatica and herniated disc is 10 times worse. 7 weeks now. The first 3 weeks were torture. Couldn't walk sleep or sit. Sharp pains in my lower right back and hip every night for 3 weeks. It's a little better but still get sharp pains at night. I think it takes more than 4 to 6 weeks to heal. More like 2 to 3 months.
I’m entering my 3rd week and I think I’m on the same timeline as you, it’s brutal
I hit Two months today and I was having a lotta relief with the chiropractor on the decompression table and with the laser treatment but I was moving and lifting boxes one day and that aggravated it. Also make sure if you go to chiropractor that do not pull on your leg to try to pop it because that can aggravated it as well!!
@@jaredstueckel You still having pain?
I’m having the same thing currently. First week could not walk or move was almost in tears. Utterly savage pain. Second week lower back fractionally better but hip and leg still having very sharp pain and cannot sleep or get comfortable most of the time. Highly annoying. Taking ibuprofen and paracetamol for the pain but doesn’t seem to do much. Also don’t want to be taking tons of meds really. I’ve had back pain quite badly for a long time since my twenties (over forty now) but it’s never been this bad. Second week off work as I can’t sit or drive or concentrate due to the pain. I’m hoping it recovers soon it’s an awful thing I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone (well maybe I would depending on what they’d done)! Savage.
This sciatica sucks had since June 2nd of 2022 today is July 17 hate this shit
I've had this for about 3 years. I just now decided to look up what it is... I can only sleep on my back or my right side, and sitting on most things that aren't cushioned causes pain to my left leg. I hate this lol
I’m with you same pain on the left basically my life is on hold
Good to know we aren’t alone my whole nervous system is messed up but the sciatica is the worst I’m 3 years in if it wasn’t for my daughter needing me I’m pretty sure I would have already taken my own life by now

MY SCIATICA IS SO SEVERE I CANT STAND UP OR WALK, I LIVE BY MYSELF AND CRAWL ON THE FLOOR, NO HEALTH INSURANCE , THE PAIN IS HORRIBLE, I STRETCH, DECOMPRESS FOR TEMPORARY RELIEF THAN LATER IT SEEMS TO AGGRAVATE IT MORE.🦁
How do you work or cook or whatever? Sorry to hear you are under so much pain.
Take MRI
i felt you bro..
MRI and then a microdiscectomy surgery should have you feeling better in no time.
🦁
I had episodes since I was 29. (severe ones) but with med and physiotherapy was healing within a week. Now I m 42, it s been 13 months now, tried meds, physiotherapy, anti inflammatory epidural injection. and last June i had the disco gel treatment. I started swimming. I feel much better 90% of the pain is gone. The real problem is that the nerve was so irritated that it keeps sending pain signals to the brain (but nothinng that the MRI revealed) I mean that nerve treatment is taking long, sometimes our brain is playing a silly game to us...there s no inflamation but the signals are being sent for protection....The postures that we use during pain become a habit to our brai
13 month or yesrs sir?
I had sciatica on and off for 8 years. The last year was 80% of the time I wasn't in my recliner I was in level 7 - 10 someone please cut my leg off pain. I had to get my L5 S 1 fused. The sciatica went away. That was 5 years ago. This year it's back again. Slowly getting worse. I'm not out of shape. 6 ft 170 lb Carpenter that takes 5-7 mile walks on my days off just to get up and moving. If I sit around it just makes the pain worse. I hope this time I can beat it with a different approach.
Good luck fixing it mate it’s a brutal thing to experience 😕
All of this is funny I do exercises to help with the pain. I take medicine I work and barely lift anything heavy and 2 and a half years later I'm still having problems everyday all day long and nothing chsnges
I can feel your pain😥
Do you know the reason for your sciatica?
why not just have a surgery? 2.5 year seem like a long time and it probably cant get better if it had not already
Chirpractor find an excellent one
I have this for 3 moths it FuckinG kills some times
You guys are scaring me, I actually want to cry. I can't live with sciatica forever??? My mental health is solely dependant on weight lifting. Idk how I'm gonna do this. Props to all of you.
Go to an ortho doctor
Same man... I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and 7months ago something happened in my lower back and the nerves been trapped ever since :(
I hope u got better by now. I had to stop weight lifting for some time but looks like I ´ll stop for a looong time 😅

Does anyone else have sciatica pain shooting down leg like electricity when the season starts to change? I am having pain every 3 months right around the change of the season. Thank y’all for the help
Take turmeric or curcumin to relief pain.
It took exactly 3 weeks to feel normal again. I was on bed most of the time during those first 3 weeks. In the mornings and evenings i was taking 20min walks - crazy painful but i think it kept me motivated. Also i was doing the recommended exercises - 2 or 3 times a day, not more . I am just starting my 9th week after the crisis. I am alittle bit worried as there is still some electricity down my leg when i walk fast or uphill. I do gym with almost body weight workouts and swim. however, i am not even close to 50% capability.
Currently in the same situation. It's been 3 months since the pain started and it hasnt go away completely, but much better than at the beggining. The first week I couldnt even walk well.

I’m watching this video to help my mom
I have had sciatica for 4 months I have been icing every night during the day take pain pills. Advil and stretching all day and go to the chiropractor and even got the injection done still dealing with pain not as bad but has not gone away completely
How are you now?
I have a small bulge at my l5-s1. It is enough to push on the nerve and I feel the sciatica especially in my toes and feet. But I have healed a lot from a couple of things. My pain went from first a 3 on good days to a depressing 6 on bad to a 1 on good days and 3 on bad.
A- it took 6 months to help it
B- I do core exercises that don’t require the hip flexors to activity (a modified plank with little strain on my hips) also slow and controlled crunches but I don’t lift to high. For my back I have a high enough love seat I can do reverse hyper extensions on to build strength back.
C. I quit lifting and now do basic calisthenics like pull-ups and push-ups. Don’t squat! I was a very good squater back in the day with a 425 lb atg squat without a belt and knee wraps. Now I’d be happy to even do 225 but in order to not be depressed about my strength loss, I do ALOT of walking forwards and backwards. My leg muscles are still surprisingly good just from it.
D. Lose weight. I lost 25 lbs. I was a case of working to hard at my job and lifting weights. But I feel that a majority of people are from sitting to long and being overweight. I have a family member that’s 300 lbs and complains about back pain and sciatica issues. I can 100 percent guarantee if that person lost weight, they’d be in a lot less pain.
I dunno, I am athletic male, 55, 5"8 145 lbs and I have Sciatica from Hell.

@@ZeDe-lo7lf and why are you so quiet about such a horrible disorder? You should immediately book a private MRI to find out how badly your discs are buldging or herniating. Then a private neurosurgeon consultation will allow you to know if you just need physiotherapy, walking, swimming etc to recover or if you need surgery.
My dad has this from 8+ years he is so pain but still working
I feel so bad for him he tried everything literally everything, last option is surgery but neurologist said don't do surgery it is dangerous may lead to paralysis, and success chances of this surgery are also low

I got mine on May 10th . It's now Sept 8th. It started off as bad back pain. Then shifted into my left leg, a few days later into my right leg, then back into my left leg and stayed. I can walk with minor pain. But when I sit. They lean forward or turn certain ways n gets extreme pain. When sleeping my leg throbs all night. I feel like I'm going crazy with pain.
Did it ever get better?
My pain specialist doctor told me that my sciatica would last forever, I would never recover and would need surgery. I've had it many years and have seen so many different doctors and specialists with little or no relief. The pain keeps getting worse & worse. I'm confined to staying at home all the time.

Besides the pain I have a feeling like my nerve is itchy which is driving me crazy, I was told itching means its healing but I don't think it is
I am 71 years old and woke up with this one morning after doing some normal back gym exercises, guess I just did something wrong. Pain was very intense each morning and gradually improved the more I moved but felt like an electric shock each time I took a step. After two weeks of feeling awful I went to see an acupuncture, Doctor. After the first visit I had less pain the following morning. After 2nd visit, I again had less pain following morning. After 3rd visit most of my pain had gone away. I still have a slight (but livable) pain in my leg and a bit of numbness in my toes, but it was dramatic improvement that took less than 10 days total. I am going to back 1 or 2 more times and see if the doctor and help me more. I was HIGHLY skeptical of getting any improvement from acupuncture but was really pleasantly surprised by the results and would recommend others to give this a try. I was not getting ANY improvement taking steroids or Advil type drugs. Exercises were also not helping. I did take Gabapentin 300mg for a few days and it helped me sleep more than anything else. Walking helps a lot too. My regular MD was of no help at all.
I wish you better comfort Aaron
I have been lifting weights since I was 15 years old now that I m 30 I have sciatica which doesn’t go away if I don’t stop lifting.Also I m a trainer which means that when I do classes I have to do deadlifts and barbell rows to teach the class .Please if you workout stop deadlifts and barbell rows you can’t imagine how I feel after this!I have been diagnosed with sciatica 2 years ago and only running improved it a little bit .

Same goes with me😥
go for homeopathy
Dont be scared of surgery, get a good doctor. Research your problem well. Educate yourself.
Good explanation. Does age affect how long sciatica will last?
Not really, its sort of overwork siting and sudden shock move, yet age above 30yr will get it constantly
my lower ribs are hurting as well as pain in but and legs, alsosight numbness
The pain is unbearable
Omg tell me about it…..the worst pain ever
Yes, agony. If possible, bend leg and stretch forward, both sides. I have PIRIFORMIS syndrome and gentle stretching exercises for the piriformis muscle, hamstring muscles, and hip extensor muscles help to decrease the pain along the sciatic nerve and improve range of motion in the hips.Once you get piriformis, expect relapse. I have found that if I do too many squats, I have a relapse. I am working on prevention now that I figured out what the problem is. I hope you get better soon.
Reading the comments on here, I’m not sure if I should be happy my sciatica went away as quickly as it came. Woke up one morning in agony, spent five weeks in bed apart from some very painful bathroom visits. I was using a bedpan for the first three weeks at least.
I’m 82 in kidney failure so can’t take NSAIDS, so had to try with a mild AnaKhedive (Panadol).
I think if it comes back I’ll take Ibuprofen, if it does my kidneys in, I’ve had my life anyway.
Good Luck, I am in week 9, had Spinal Epidural one month ago, and see an Ortho Surgeon this Friday. The first month I had it was EXCRUCIATING and NO Sleep, Thought I was going to SNAP psychologically - Christmas morning I pretty well had a melt down. Hope you never go through it again. It is HELL.

Plus I've been doing in-home therapy now for essentially a decade and my pain has just gotten worse this last year.
I've been in agony over Xmas. Have trouble sitting and my back and leg muscles go into spasms. Dr gave me diazapan and co codamol which made no difference whatsoever other than making me constipated.
Got a phone appointment with physio in 2 weeks. Surely first step should be a scan to find cause then treat? Only thing seems to help is tens machine
I have scoliosis with a COMPLETE spinal fusion. I also have 5 herniated discs. I have had sciatica for about 3 years. With bouts of extreme pain about every 4-6 months
I have sciatica right now!!!! I’m still having to go too work it’s agony, I’ve tried stretching exercises but to no avail it’s that bad I can hardly walk at times. I’m only 48 and it’s getting me down I’ve also been told I can have injections to stop the pain from blocking the signals down my leg.
What do I do I’m restless at night I can’t sleep my nerves are irritated my knee is sore as ever I don’t wanna get out of bed I have chronic sciatica 😭
This is my second year. Pain progresed. Pain meds not working. Im now on gabapentin 300mg at night and still in pain. Started physical therapy again in November 2021. Epidural steroid injection did not help. Now I am looking for a pain clinic to help me. Having back pain 24/7 is debilitating! I have a disc bulge at L4-5 and L5-S1. Saw this new treatment for degenerative disc disorder but it’s still not covered by insurance. The treatment is discseel.
Idk if this is what I have but I had to get my hips aligned & now I have like pain on right side I can’t stand for too long or I can’t sit for a long time because it feels like pressure on it
I’ve been been taking ibuprofen tablets and ibuprofen gel was told it could do damage to your liver so stopped both didn’t realise but you get so desperate when your in so much pain I’ve had it for four weeks and it is hell got a telephone appointment with a physio hopefully she will help
How long does sciatica last? Forever. It lasts forever.
Exactly...
😭😭😭
@@abdrnasr is it to the point you can't walk??
@@melinarai5126 do you have sciatia ?.how bad is your pain? Is it everyday?
It depends on each person I had this since 2012 injections didn't fix it
For me too...2019 injections didn't fix it😖
I’ve been in 3 car accidents, I know that’s crazy. Only one was when I was driving. I get excruciating sciatica off and on but mostly when I’m too inactive.
Great video very informative!
Glad it was helpful!
Have a slip disc since 35 years and every 2 to 3 years am sufferinv the pain is always here though have done different exercises. Now since 1 month am suffering, have done 5 sessions of massage, visit a chiropractor and last thursday have done injection and taking some inflammatory drugs.
Am not fully recovered
Had herniated disc ten years, before prolonged light traction fixed it. Got it again five years later, last may, this time, took longer, a year. So it worked again, not as well, still some sore. Going to keep stretching, so it won't come back
What is light traction?

I'm 16 and I have sciatica. It sucks to have a major back injury at a young age.

Mine has been going on 2 months. Very painful. And Drs don't care. When it's thier turn see how much they care....
Sir I have sciatica for the last 5 years! And still not resolved 😭what should I do??
I feel sorry for you 😢
Ive had it for 31 years now. I've tried everything to get rid of it.
Only solution is surgery my frend, i did the surgery, got well, but due to my carelessness i got again, imalso scared
I have sciatica for over 2 years got worse. Been twice to neurologist. Did mri X-ray. Ct scan. Was put on chronic med. I do everything from the stretching. Gym. Walk. Did over 20 physio nothing helps. Herniated disk My lower back. Both sides butt. Both knee. Leg. Hip extremely sore.
Hi shelly I have It 4 mnths now waiting for my mri .how helpful is the MRI I'm praying it finds the problem as I'm in agony every day
I suggest trying vitamin therapy. Use magnesium powder, a multivitamin, b complex and turmeric powder.
Mines come back every year for a few weeks or more on schedule .
what time of year?
