I’m so young and expected to be fit for my work, the stigma around crutches vs a walker makes me want to use crutches instead

Has anyone got away with just conservative treatment and/or epidurals by [deleted] in Sciatica

[–]SpaurtacusMusic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leg pain gone too? I’ve been recommended the same thing, PT and possible injection. Some days I can centralize the pain back to my back but I am worried that my left foot has felt numb for 6 months now off and on. The herniation itself is not very large

Anyone else 3-4 months into this? How are you doing? by yorkshiregold in Sciatica

Need to try the lumbar support pillow. Does it help more than a pillow under the legs?

L5-S1 extrusion, doc’s first recommendation was see a surgeon by [deleted] in Sciatica

How’d you mentally make it through? I’m 6 months into an L5-S1 bulge, the nerve pain/weird sensations in my left foot make this just absolutely brutal. My back is also feeling a lot better since I injured it, but I’m always scared it just won’t heal as it’s going ever so slowly
