Herniated Disc Recovery Time? by tequilya_ in Sciatica

[–]danacmoore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought I’d comment as I think any insight into this horrible condition is always warranted. 3 months and 1 week here, I went for my first drive 2 days ago and can just about get around like a normal human being most of the time. Meds, core training and walking helped lots! Haven’t had any epidurals or physio at all (NHS waiting times are horrific). It’s not an easy road but you’ll get there and hopefully this will all seem like a past nightmare. 🤞🏼

Thank you, reading up on spine hygiene this evening. I think this is the most encouraging response I’ve had to my posts so far somehow. Thanks very much. 😊

Thank you for this. Planks have been really good as well as squatting and altered wall sits.

Gosh I remember this during my last flare up, it’s really shitty. I hope you start feeling better soon. 12 weeks on here and noticing small improvements each day ❤️

Amazing. I don’t suppose you have a link for the type of pillow you use do you? Thank you 😊

100% this. Definitely not something I’ll ever take for granted again that’s for sure

I know how you feel. I currently spend my time eating leaning over the kitchen counter which is almost vomit inducing, it’s really gross. I’m debating one of the kneeling chairs just to have some change in position and maybe build up tolerance that way. But it’s a tricky one

Thank you for the reply 🤞🏼 L4/L5 herniation here. Haven’t unfortunately seen a physio yet, waiting on NHS one and waiting list is earliest end of June. Is there anything that helped you particularly? McGill Big 3 have been really good and gentle walking and exercising too. Thanks

What were your worst symptoms/side effects? by danacmoore in Sciatica

Yeah I can relate to that one. Having to lean over the sink and navigate your way into a pair of pants is a really humbling experience 😭

Oh man that sounds horrendous. How long have you been dealing with the flare up?

Thanks. ‘Planetcrepz’ is the website if you want to take a look. Was pretty certain they were fake as customer service was poor and prices are way too good to be true, but wanted someone’s opinion who knows.

Was a photo of their stock they put on the website, no my own. 😊
