If you have sciatica which I recently experienced, there are stretches and exercises that can fix it. They worked for me in 2 weeks. If it’s herniated disc or a vertebrae problem, that’s more complicated. Wish you luck since I was also bed-ridden after pulling a tendon in my lower back.
I just found out what to call it. I have severe stenosis of the lumbar spine area. I will probably be getting a scheduled date for surgery: a laminectomy. I didn’t want surgery, but the problems (lightening bolts of pain in legs and pelvis) are quickly getting worse every few days. Another adventure in life awaits me. Three Cheers for veterans health insurance!
