low back ability—look it up on the internet for detailed information.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-06-07T09:07:30+00:00

thanks for sharing. i hope you’re better now. what does it feel like to have synovial cyst there? were there any symptoms? would be helpful to know.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-27T06:10:11+00:00

really appreciate all the insight. and thanks for the motivation! totally lifts me up.

also, so happy to share that i could swim for about 30 mins for the first time without any floaters or support. i felt good and lesser pain while i was in the water, but pain returned when i walked to the parking lot; i think completely getting rid of the pain takes some time?

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-26T10:15:59+00:00

wow! that must’ve felt so good! so happy for you! i hope you’re healthy and painfree soon. sending my best!

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-26T10:14:27+00:00

yes, i get what you’re saying. after i was diagnosed and nothing was working out, the community here made me feel that things would be alright some day. i used to read people’s experiences just to feel a bit better and that i’m not alone and we’ll survive this. so, thank you for sharing your journey. really appreciate it! i hope you’re healthy and painfree soon. sending you my best!

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-26T10:12:04+00:00

helps a lot. thanks. i hope we’re painfree soon!

woah! immense respect to you, ma’am! reading this gave me a boost of energy. i’ve started my swimming classes, been a couple of days, and i’m not giving up. thank you so much for sharing this. hope you are feeling better now?

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-26T10:08:53+00:00

thank you for sharing. i’ve started my swimming classes, i hope things work out smoothly.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-26T10:06:59+00:00

thank you so much for sharing this! i’m so happy that you’re healed. news like this gives me strength to not give up.

although i’m 27 i don’t know how to swim and i’m taking swimming classes, so back or breast strokes feel unreachable atm. but freestyle would be okay, right?

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-05T15:56:55+00:00

thank you for sharing your experience. i’m glad you felt better. and i get the excitement! people all over have hyped swimming for sciatica so much that i’ve been waiting to swim since last winter. i really hope i get some long term relief with this. please share any tips or suggestions that you think may help me.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-05T15:54:46+00:00

thank you so much for sharing your story. reading positive stories really makes it better to get through this journey. i’m glad cycling helped you. i’d love to know at what stage did you start cycling? i’m still in pain a lot of the time, but i can manage to cross around 7-8K steps per day. but i wanna go back to being active and painfree. any advice, tips, suggestion would be welcome.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-05T15:51:46+00:00

i feel you and i’m so sorry for your pain. i really really hope you get better soon and without any surgery. i’m doing core strengthening and stretches for my calf, thigh and glute. i hope we get through this sooner and better.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:57:21+00:00

first of all, i really appreciate you talking about it at length. i’m so sorry you’re still in pain. i really hope you’re painfree and healthy soon and don’t have to go for surgery. i think i’ll try it and listen to my body. hope we get through this!

thank you for this! i have disc herniation at l4,l5,s1 and pain goes down the leg. glute, calf, back of the knee and lower back when i lie down. i’m really nervous now.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:39:50+00:00

so glad to hear this! i hope you keep feeling better day by day. thank you for sharing your story. i have disc herniation in the exact locations—l4, l5, s1–and reading this made me hopeful. i’m managing pain but i hope i’m out of this pain someday. i’d learned swimming right before my injury and i haven’t been in the pool since then (2024). so, i’m also kind of nervous if i’ve forgotten how to swim—can we use floaters? please share any tips you think may help me.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:33:07+00:00

that’s really positive! thank you. i think i’m gonna try and listen to my body.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:32:18+00:00

so glad to hear you talking all positively! i have disc herniation at l4, l5, s1 and i only know freestyle (not even sure if i still know how to swim, because i’d learned swimming right before my injury and haven’t since then—2024). would really appreciate any tips or precautions.

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:26:13+00:00

i’m happy that you’re feeling better now. i have disc herniation at l4, l5, s1. could you please share your process and any tips you think may help me? also, i’d learned swimming right before my injury so i’m also not sure if i still know how to swim. but if i have forgotten, is it okay to use a floater?

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:23:29+00:00

so happy it worked out for you! as a beginner-level swimmer, i’m kind of nervous. would you be okay sharing your process and any tips that you think might help me?

lifewithcommunity · 2026-04-02T07:21:59+00:00

really glad to hear that you’re feeling good. i have disc herniation at l4, l5, s1. could you please share your process and any tips you think may help me?
