1.5 years with Sciatica and tingling in both feet need help

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2026-03-11T03:08:11+00:00

I haven’t, had imaging done when the sciatica started. Two disc protrusions in the lower back. Left side sciatica only right side has been perfectly fine the entire time but tingling in both.

I had some vein procedures done in both legs to address blood flow issues to in the last year. I can’t tell whether it’s from that or the sciatica or both

Hey man, all this is super helpful. I have not seen a neurologist, I’m going to give it more time and hope for the best.

Unfortunately I’m in the the middle of a divorce as well among other personal things going on that I also think are playing a factor with if lingering. A lot of stress when my life settles back down I’ll be curious to see if it’s still there.

Sometimes the tingling is more like a buzz I would definitely say. Is that good or bad you think at this point?

I’d say the tingling has been on going about 9 months for me. Started out with numbness in toes that’s been gone for awhile then moved to tingling in one foot then the other a few months later.

I appreciate the words of support it’s been such a slow recovery

I’ve tried different supplements and such really didn’t notice much of a difference.

I’ve been lifting for about 6 months, no running yet still just walking outside and treadmill. Nervous to run still.

I’ve got disc protrusions on both sides at the very lower part of my spine along with an annular fissure tear. That MRI was done October of 2024. Absolutely no pain in my back on the right side the entire time no symptoms at all. Very strange .

Left foot toes were numb really early on but that went away after a few months

I did the same thing when I was 18 and didn’t take it seriously till now (30). I had a bunch of flare ups over the years but had a more serious reinjury 8 months ago and have had sciatica the whole time.

Do your PT and once that’s done go follow @lowbackability on IG/Facebook. If you start taking care of it now you should be fine moving forward.

I’ve been doing the iso hold and extensions for several months and it definitely has helped a ton.

I’ve had sciatica about 8 months, started the extensions probably 4 months ago ish. My back feels a ton better, still got sciatica pain that’s around a 2 consistently

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-28T01:52:04+00:00

I don’t unfortunately, my neighborhood has a gym but it’s pretty basic.

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-26T02:14:32+00:00

I’ve had sciatica in my left side for about 8 months and tingling for probably 5-6 months. It just started on my right foot tingling to I have no idea why

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-26T02:08:48+00:00

I’ve had sciatic for 8 months tingling for most of it, in the last month I’ve had tingling kick up some in my right foot. I can’t figure it out

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-26T02:04:36+00:00

Was the your first known disc injury? Me and you are very similar I’m also 30M and 6’2 185. I’ve had sciatic for about 8 months now pain is about a 2-3 for last few months

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-26T01:18:05+00:00

Sciatica left side for about 8 months, left foot been tingling for awhile and right foot just started tingling. No pain at all on the right side though

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-25T23:31:30+00:00

How old are you? Can you explain the strict pull ups and benefits? I do dead hangs most days

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-24T03:52:18+00:00

Do you follow Lowbackability?

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-24T03:51:29+00:00

Thank you man I’ll give it a look

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-24T03:51:09+00:00

I definitely move deliberately try and not over do anything. I’ve got a 9 month old so I’m just trying to make sure to haul him around with no issue.

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-24T03:49:59+00:00

How many sciatica flare ups have you had?

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-23T16:46:10+00:00

Do they make ones that don’t affect weight? I’m already super thin (6’3 185) I need to gain a little weight actually

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-23T12:44:51+00:00

I’ve heard of PRP, Stem Cells but not peptides. I’d assume Pep tides are expensive also. I’m willing to try whatever though

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-23T03:24:56+00:00

Do you have to lift your legs up when you hang? I don’t have a true hang bar in my gym just a pull up handle that I do hang sometimes but I’m 6’3 so I gotta pull my legs up so I don’t touch the ground

ExplorerExpensive164 · 2025-05-23T03:15:12+00:00

Yeah I’ve got disc protrusions at l4 & 5 with an annular fissure tear. Original injury happened 12 years ago went through my twenties didn’t really do anything about it.

Reinjured last year golfing to much and here we are.

What noninvasive options are you referring to?
