So cool of you to ask! And I'm really sorry to hear that you're in pain. The recovery from the herniated disk and hematoma in my spinal column pushed me into the thick of coaching cross country and starting a new school year of teaching, so all video production has been reduced to near zero. I had doctors pushing toward surgery because of the loss of muscle control in my lower leg and constant numbness, even weeks/months after the sciatic pain was essentially gone. After three painful weeks, the pain went away in a few days. After another two months, the strength in my calf was finally normal enough to go back to running. After a few more weeks, I occasionally feel like the numbness might be gone, and I'm working back toward pre-injury levels of fitness...with difficulty. I can only hope that in spite of the initial severity, your body can mend itself in they way that mine has managed. Thanks again for checking in!
How’s your sciatica? I’ve been following along your story. I’m in a similar situation right now from mountain biking and it’s extremely painful.
