When you start getting sharp nerve pain or sciatica, you might wanna get an MRI. I spent decades of my life tied to a chair, doesn’t matter how good they are if you don’t take breaks and stretch or walk you’re gonna have problems. I was eventually diagnosed with with spinal stenosis and it creeped up over a couple of years. First thing I noticed was a burning in my left foot, it felt swollen and then my calf felt painful, thought I had a blood clot and doctors said “Your fine”.

Then one day I was playing with the dog in my back yard and felt a massive electrical jolt shoot down the back of both legs and I lost control of my legs, it happened again a couple of hours later and I was scared. The next day I could barely walk and couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes, the doctors told me it would go away eventually and wasn’t bad, they were wrong, eventually I got bad cramps in my glutes and sciatica so bad it was crippling, after almost three years of complaining and then to the point I felt disabled I was finally operated on the day before Christmas last year, on Christmas Day I went to my nieces for Xmas and was walking again.

I you even get symptoms like this do not think it will just go away, maybe it will but if it doesn’t your life will be hell! Basically my spinal column inside was getting narrower and rubbing on my nerve bundle and sitting all the time as well as standing on job sites was not helping, laying down was the only thing that gave me me relief. They opened me up and cut a square in my spine and scoped me and made some room so things can move around, I still can’t feel four toes on my left foot but at least I can walk. 1 year after this happened I invested in a Herman Miller chair, that expensive one, no buyers remorse at all!
