One month with severe sciatica, advice and support please!
Hey guys, Ive been having issues for the past 3 months, with it suddenly becoming severe overnight. I think im just looking for support and advice. I used to be really active in the gym and sports before the 3 months and now I feel so shut in and horrid. I got a steroid injection yesterday and am feeling a bit better, and i just wanna go and get shit done on my to-do list. And i know i shouldnt, but i went and started to do one thing that isn't even that intense and the pain just came back.
Is there a way to stay active? Ive gained alot of weight since in a foodie and couldnt keep with my sports. Before the injection I couldnt stand for more than 2 mins.
Has anyone here had an MRI similar looking to mine that has been feeling better or fully recovered. Im sure theres worse, but i just really want some hope. Thx yall
