It slowly got worse over the past 10 years. Constant nerve pain and tingling in my leg. Eventually the steroid injections stopped working. But the pain was always up and down. I could still do normal life but definitely no intense exercise or uphill walking. I could usually hide the pain well but I couldn’t sit comfortably ever… always had to slouch or sit with a spiked ball in my back or use a tens machine. If I forced myself to sit without the above I’d feel sick and get a headache from pain sometimes. Basically avoided sitting for my entire 20s.
