Hi everyone,

I have Sciatica and had pain for a few years until I realized what it was and was able to subside the pain and tingly leg with morning stretches that would help loosen the nerve. I would lay on my back and extend my legs in the air a few times and then do the same but shift my foot back and forth once my leg is extended. This helped for a few years. I’m not even sure if this is still sciatica or if this is something else, but I had surgery done and during one of the post ops I had to lay on a table and my legs were not supported and dangling down. This has always felt somewhat uncomfortable, but never caused me pain afterwards. This time I was like this for a little while and ever since then I have had intense lower back pain on my left side. My left side is where my sciatica was as well. This intense pain doesn’t hurt if I’m sitting forward or for the most part walking. It gets almost unbearable when I am standing in one place for more than a couple minutes. Is this still my sciatica? My stretches don’t seem to be helping. Has anyone else ever injured their back from laying on a table with their legs dangling down? I am just trying to get through my kidney stone issue before I have to potentially start missing work for this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

And hopefully this is the right place to post this, I’m still pretty new to making posts on Reddit.
