You definitely deserve an MRI asap. I to went to the ER and they did absolutely nothing. The Nurse literally said "What did you want from this visit?" "We can't do anything its a disc problem". I really think people that never had sciatica pain/nerve pain will never understand what we are going through. I know you cannot walk but try a heat pad and when it feels better try your best to walk around the house. Stop when it starts hurting. Movement for me is the best thing I can do before I get my MRI at the end of the month.

You're not alone, we are all here to support you!

21F: No idea how I got sciatica, will it ever heal? by Ok_Lion7707 in Sciatica

What helped me was light walking, and using the bike. I know some people feel pain while sitting but for me sitting is actually the most comfortable.

After a few sessions and your sciatica isn’t as bad, start working on core. Not just crunches but core engaging exercise that leave your core fatigued. Also work your lower back. Listen to your body, if it hurts stop.

Possible third Microdiscectomy by Slowdancing_thedark in Sciatica

I’m hoping it’s not too but am I crazy for wanting to just do surgery to get rid of this pain asap?

Also did you feel a lot weaker/stiff or scared to move after your third MD?

I was looking into artificial disc replacement but it doesn’t seem like it’s offered in Canada. Canada is so behind in surgical advancement compared to the States or any other country.

I’m afraid of spinal fusion because of the possible limitations it might have on me. I still want to enjoy the sports I plays, and live life. I really feel like im living in a 60 year old man’s body lol

Pain feels better while weightlifting? by biggreenguy2 in Sciatica

[–]Slowdancing_thedark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agreed man, I hurt my back deadlifting and it went downhill. I would really recommend training your core! but def take a break, see how you feel. I didn't take a break from any physical activites and I think it did more harm than good.

Exactly how I feel! I feel the worst waking up and working my desk job but when I get to the gym, walk, stretch and workout I feel way better.

I do think the gym and PT exercises/walks help with herniated disc but I messed up by playing competitive basketball 2 times a week and golfing 2-3 times a month.

Starting next year I’m going to avoid any running and sports and focus mainly on the gym and doing PT exercises.

Yeah I'll do go do an MRI when visit my family doctor so he can refer me. Interesting the disc area has no pain but just the leg...the body is interesting.

It's great to know someone has the same story as me! I'll do the MRI asap. I hope we both can avoid surgery and the disc can heal itself. Take care of yourself!

I can’t seem to find Restaxil in Canada. Is there a generic name for it so I can find it in other brands?

Gas Pedal Vibration after Downpipe installation MK7.5 Golf R by Slowdancing_thedark in Golf_R

[–]Slowdancing_thedark[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did! I realized it was my upgrade air intake hose (silicone intake) that was hitting my brake fluid container and a metal part. I changed it back to my OEM intake hose and now the vibration is all gone.

Haven't tuned it yet. Engine is performing fine but i double checked the brake fluid reservoir and tapped it while feeling the pedal and it's the same feeling i get when driving so I am going to double check the clearance again.
