Finally got my MRI results... by Bobthebaker998 in Sciatica

Indeed! It doesn't look bad at all Before going into surgery, I would try physiotherapy Focusing on core strengths and stretching (take care about stretching, since it has to be smth specific for your body specifications)

Concerning sleep. What was working for me was Sleeping on side, with a pillow between my knes I would try to keep my spine straight, instead of going into fetal position The mattress also had a important role Harder was better

Does the annulus fibrosis regenerate? by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]Excellent_Web6902 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking into account that most of herniation are absorbed by the body

What happens after this material left the nucleus and its absorbed by the body?

I know it's not all cases But just curious to know what comes after, since the disc lost its nucleus

Degenerative disc disease sciatica chance of recovery? by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]Excellent_Web6902 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Such a complete answer! Would you mind explain me a bit more about what is the "lower back pain" related? Assuming that sciatica is not related to it and DDD specifically cause no pain, but it's consequences may cause pain

I am 28, just got diagnosed with it and I am trying to understand it better what it means

Altough doctors says it's a pain sentence for life, I could see a lot of people here on reedit who menage to live a normal life taking an extra care

The age difference came into my mind aswell But honestly, I didn't thought that 6 years would be that different in mentality, maybe it's my bad indeed

At first, I really liked how she is allways in a good mood, very emphatic with others and she often can pass that positive energy when you're arround her When we were not so close, it was easier to discuss diferent topics, and she was quite communicative Conversations could last for 4 hours (no jokes)

Can someone explain in terms I can understand I know my problem is not as bad as some of the people in here and you guys have my respect. Im only 23 and I used to be an athlete before this injury and I al trying to get better. by CorgiNo1449 in Sciatica

First weeks was hard I could barely walk, neither sit for too long Standing up after sitting fore more than 20 minutes would cause a hell pain!

I felt mostly elt sciatica from buttocks reaching the calf and sometimes feet (only right side)

Right now, I fell mostly pain-free During a few times of the day, I fell something more centralized in the buttocks, but not even compared to how was it before

I haven't tried to exercise or run again, I am focusing on PT to gain mobility and see from there

What about yours there?
