sciatica

omg it's back and it's worse than before. those stretches trick you into feeling l ike you're winning and then it comes on even worse and you have to do more stretches. i'm going to spend the rest of my life stretching.

it might be something you do chronically.

like a chair you sit in or a bad bed.

Sciatica can be awful, I've had pretty bad for almost a year now. I'm almost certain my case is a result of being a lazy fuck and gaining too much weight.

I went to the doctor when it got to the point that I was unable to walk more than a few mins without excruciating pain. First off, they prescribed a 12 day stint of prednisone which worked great for about a week. They also prescribed ibuprofen 800 to reduce inflammation which I have been on for some time now, it helps a lot but I'm kind of sketched about taking so much ibuprofen. They also sent me to physical therapy, but after a few visits I've decided that that shit is for the birds. I can stretch for an hour on my own and save a couple hundred dollars a month.

I usually try to stretch 4-5 times a day and I think that it is helping, I've been able to knock down the ibuprofen to 400mg.

As of now, my sciatica is much more manageable although I do still have pain every day.

this pain is no joke. godspeed burns. i split my hand open and severed a tendon and a nerve and had about half of a glass pint explode inside of it earlier this year, but i would consider this fucking butt pain as the worst thing that has happened to me physically this year.

a nasty hemorrhoid is up there though

haha. I love star wars!

Can you get this in your back? Because I think I have it.

I am struggling with this at the moment, i'm on hella drugs, without which I cannot walk, but you have to stay mobile or you just seize up. Feel for you Fred.

I still lift my boys! I put the 2 year old inside a big basket with handles and I work out like that! Excersize for me... Fun for him! The other I use for bench presses!
