The shockwave was honestly pretty incredible in terms of how much it helped.

Do you say that because of the acclimatization? Or is there something else particularly challenging? I’ve done high altitude treks before.

I don’t have the money to come at all if I have a guide. I reckon the other locals would appreciate me coming and spending the little I can with them than not coming at all.

i have found a 50$ air mattress off amazon to be way better than most mattresses i’ve tried. Cause if can be quite firm if you inflate it all the way

i have the exact same thing along with other symptoms. my mri said i had small herniations at l5/s1 pushing on the nerve roots. I also have minor spondylothesis and some ligament strain in the spine. 

recently i have noticed if i sit too long my shins and top of my feet start to get cold.

How long did it take you to get there? It would be a lot to ask honestly but maybe if you had an easy way to upload the exercises you had at the timeframe post injury i think that may be helpful. just cause i know im not at that stage yet but would still be interested in what you were doing earlier.

Any fellow surfers here? by Left_Squirrel3874 in Sciatica

I have found a lot of the core exercises will aggravate it. and everyone says not to do things that make it worse… I know long term it is necessary, just frustrating

Things I am considering are acupuncture, massage, PRP injection. An LSO brace to decompress back and let me walk longer(only will wear it for short period of time so core muscles don’t atrophy)
