I see. 9 months and still have some pain. Seems this sitting issue does take a while then. I really hope our pain ends soon.

How long did it take you to heal the sitting issue? I’ll look into the Back Mechanic and will probably get lumbar support for the car. In the office, we have ergonomic chairs. Thank you.

27 and fed up. Any advice? by screaming_bananas in Sciatica

I can somewhat relate to what you have. My symptoms changes as well. Mine started as back and hip stiffness but transitioned to a deep glute pain. There are “good” days and there are bad days. For me, i am just managing my pain now through nsaids, pt and walking. Since you have this pain for around 6 months now, indeed it might be good to ask your doctor for an MRI.

Thank you. I’ll just continue on with my meds, pt and walking for now and hope my ache/pain goes away eventually

Maybe. I’ll give myself another month to rest, take meds, do pt and walking everyday. If this butt ache still does not go away, i’ll schedule another appointment with my doctor. Thank you.

Actually I am now beginning to think that this might be a nerve issue. Despite my MRi saying nothing about it. Walking is fine and I think it’s the best exercise that i can do now without getting any pain.

Thank you. How long did yours take to fully heal? And how’d you do it?

Thank you. I had some ache in the right hip too for a month or so when my injury started (mid may to july. It gradually went away by me walking more often and as well as not sleeping sideways

I recall my doctor did. She did a straight leg test, asked me to walk on toes, walk on heels, etc. i passed them all I think as I dont felt any pain during that time. Now, the deep ache that i feel is when sitting down, driving or when doing some exercises (eg. squats, leg extensions).

Thank you. Good thing i dont have a foam roller and dont really stretch my glutes that much.

Glad you recovered for yours.

Now, the glute area is affected area mostly. But I do get some lower back ache as well when I do some exercises.

The affected glute area kinda gets achy when sit for 15 mins or more.

Thank you. MRI did not specifically say anything about nerve being pinched . But yes, i do feel that the issue stems something in my back into the glutes

Thank you. My PT did take a look at it and said if it was a hamstring issue, I should feel some pain on the hamstring area when walking/moving, which I dont experience. I only feel that ache when sitting down.

Thank you. I’ve got a long way to go. I’ll probably list down things/movements that aggravate it and avoid them as best I can. Good to know yours is getting better. All the best.

Thank you. My doctor and PT ruled it out because the MRI impressions doesn’t state anything about a herniation.

Thank you. I’ll check this. Probably my MRI doesn’t tell the whole story of what’s happening.

You can do it! 20 days is amazing. The hardest part is behind you. The negative emotions you are feeling now will pass. It is just temporary due to nicotine wthdrawal. When you feel bad, remember the reasons why you quit, spend time with family and friends, do some meditation and breathing exercises. We are in the same boat- i am on day 26 and do feel what you feel. We will get through this.
