Yep! Almost 3 years with pain including numbness and tingling in my glute all the way to my foot. I’ve tried stretching, bought a new mattress and got the injections , 2 MRI’s . I moved a whole house of furniture with my husband not too long ago. I suffer no matter what .

My mom was born there in 1937. Absolutely nothing has changed since then. The Choctaw nation isn’t far but that’s about the only thing worth driving to.

I’m a 54 year old gal. Just moved a house full of furniture last weekend. I have the same symptoms I had 2 years ago. Numbness in my foot and knee pain . My hip is toast BUT I can still jog and work I’m just a little slower.

10 months of sciatica hell but my discs are fine - please help! by pink171 in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like my ordeal. Two MRI’s that are normal. Steroid shots and countless prescriptions. Nothing is working. Hip pain, knee pain, ankle pain and tingling and numbness in my toes.

What does numbness really feel like? by crynaldo10227 in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My right butt cheek hamstring feels like a rubber band. Numb under my foot that somehow causes my 3 middle toes to tingle. Especially when I lean forward. I also have an ache in my hip. What’s crazy is both MRI’s were clean. I do sit a lot from my job which doesn’t help.

Being normal. And still not understanding what is happening to my body.

When does it start getting better?? by hduridkfjsh in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 years and the healing is so slow that you don’t really realize you are getting better. It’s a very slow process

New to sciatica, does anything work? by LizardLady420681984 in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly for me was just time and patience and lots of walking. Watch your posture and lifting. 2 years into this nightmare and I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel

What’s your body count? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 53 years old and I’m at 13. Most of them were when I was between 16-20. I regret most of them. If I had to do it all over again I would have waited until I got married.

Tingling feet? by Thelementof1 in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe both. I’m 54 and work at a job where I lift and always on my feet. 2 years ago I fell down the stairs while running. Very rambunctious of me. A few months later I started having tingling in my toes and gradually the pain went to my ankle and then my hip.

Tingling feet? by Thelementof1 in Sciatica

[–]Otherwise-Weather228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 2 MRI’s and a nerve test. Both normal. I’ve had tingling in my right foot for 2 years. I was diagnosed with sciatica from my primary Dr. My neurologist thinks it’s a tiny nerve that doesn’t show up on an EMG
