I have it.
I had a severe pain running from my lower back down to my calf for about a month and it was difficult to find a comfortable sitting position and walk. I finally went and had an MRI and found out I had 2 herniated discs in my lower back that were pressing on my sciatic nerve. It is now mainly in my leg and the only thing I have been able to do is take medication to cope with the pain. I was told that surgery was about 50/50 and that is a chance I don’t want to take. I have heard that going to a chiropractor and having your spine stretched does sometimes help but I haven’t wanted to try that either. It sucks being 32 and having this to look forward to this pain the rest of my life but what can you do? If you find something that works, I would love to hear about it.
