My wife deals with that. It looks like hell on earth and there's really not much that you can do except stretches
Yeah I know it.. its forsure hell.. I have degenerative disk disease, with to bulging disks.. l4 and l5 that press into my nerves almost causing me to collapse to the ground from the exploding electrical jolts... my thighs feel numb all the time.. a weird wet sensation..
My sciatic pain runs from my lower back, through my hip and down my leg through my shin.. the pain from my back and hip radiate in to my groin causing alot of discomfort... (like being kicked in the nuts)
The 2 specialists i saw and several doctors said I'm to young for surgery... they said they could do lamectomeys on my disks to release the pain on the nerves.. but they also said my back needs a cage.. they told me to hold of as long as I can because the disks above and below the cage would go bad relatively quick..

similar to me . i had m.r.i scans around 15 years ago that showed i had pretrusions pressing nerves, 3 herniated discs and all the cartilage damage and such that goes a long with it . the sciatica i got used to ... the spasms that occur after the disc bulges i find the worst. those sharp shocks etc. i have to use my hands to lift my legs

most nights my legs feel like they are in a hot fire. or my toes

i would like to know the source of the issue. it seems genetic , but i feel that is bullshit . who knows, the specialists don't know so i don't have much chance

osteoarthristis , spondylosis are what labels they gave the damage . i have had the condition since my late 20's

on average my back bulges at a weak point , twtice a year . sciatica is a near daily routine

always decompress , and never sit down is the motto. the moment i forget and start sitting down like normal people , then it goes wrong

in my early 30s i started strengthening the supporting muscles around my injuries . this is a must , regardless of the idea of pain .

mobility is vital too. you must keep it moving , but without stress, and the supportive muscles can keep the spine more stable and act as supports

this is why i do not opt for surgery too . everyone i speak too seems to think its a problem that can be fixed.... surgery on the spine can and often leads to further complications.

all i can think of for myself , is stem cell therapy on the cartilage . maybe that could help if i was a multi millionaire , or maybe that whole process is horseshit fairytales

daily stretching , work outs , strength training , and chain smoking ganja is my recipe for stability and minimum down time

if i had not followed my regimen when my disc herniate last week , i could be still bed bound now. based on my experience . two weeks out of action if i was to just try and lay in bed with my knees up hoping for the best , and with my back in full spasm , and jolting me at every movement for two weeks.

i managed to reduce that in 3 days from nearly unbearable to near fluid again through forcing my body to de-compress

my cat has not been outside in months , she has escpaed out the front of my house as my annoying neighbour was shouting in public and i had the door open . it is a busy road and i'm pissed off with that neighbour more than i can put into words . hopefully she knows where she is as she has never ventured outside that way , and the rear route in is where she has been avoiding. i may not see her now for days . really annoying cunt next door
