Sciatica pain - anyone ever dealt with it?

Currently in a situation where I'm walking about 10 miles a day on vacation, but I tweaked my sciatica nerve Friday. Ever since, I can only walk for about 5-10 mins at a time before it becomes almost unbearable and have to take a break.

Is there any kind of stretch or a way to get quick relief once it flares up? It almost reminds me of a foot cramp where it gets so bad, but then the right move can get instant relief. I just can't find a repeatable method and have just been sitting for a few mins each time to get it to relax.

This, religiously + inversion table.

10 Sciatica Stretches to Ease Nerve Pain

Also, Sphinx pose. Hold that for 10 seconds (20 or more if not too painful) and back down. Repeat for reps of 10. Stay in that position as much as possible.

Yo internet Volnation Friends,

My Papaw went on to Heaven on 06/16/2022.
Like many of you, he got me into this Tennessee Vols mess. I "thanked" him for that on more than one occasion.
He was the #1 fan like a lot of your Papaws, too.

Thick orange blood.
Go Vols.

I just dropped THE greatest dad joke off all time.

Have a seat gents…

My son says that he’s seen a new type of gun that apparently shoots salt. Don’t ask me how.

In stride, I ask him?… So this is “A-Salt rifle?”

Oh no! They damaged mine during a bone marrow biopsy so it’s a constant pain. Better find out what is causing the pain while there’s still a change to correct it.

I’ve tried to things that may work.

1. Rub some dirt on it
2. cut it off

Let me know if either work out.

… but sorry, I’ve got nothing for that

I can't believe we aren't at 10k+ already. Having less than Florida is embarrassing.

I bet Napier won’t even let them work

Easy now, don't want to dull your knife blades.

I thought about buying one but could just imagine my wife coming home seeing salt all over the house from where I am trying to shoot flies.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Newt , any particular brand recommended? There is a pretty broad price range and everybody has a "10 best" list. TIA

Get one that flips you upside down, otherwise, you’ve just bought a table

I’m outside the hospital. Father in law is fading fast from cancer in his liver discovered about a month ago.

The man had like 3 alcoholic drinks a year and never touched a drug or smoked. Diet has always been shockingly bad though. And I’m still living in his house, feeling like I’m in the way, and can’t seem to do anything to change that. More than most anything, I hate feeling powerless and hate feeling like I’m imposing myself on someone

Oh man. Praying for you and the family Nick.

I love that this new commit’s dad is a Marine. Comes from a great family, disciplined, and has an appreciation for this country that not many young people have.

 

[BigSteve09]

I hope so!

its just about moving the disc back into place.

I chose physical therapy this last time. Biggest thing was just time.

Exactly. The pain is compression. The inversion restores separation.

Yall keep Keon Johnson and his family in your prayers. Just got word that his dad passed away. Such a terrible day for it to happen too.
