So a 2 months ago I fell off my staging about 7-8'..landed on my ass. Only thing hurt was my ego at the time. After a few days I was right as rain. But last month I started getting some shooting pains from my right butt cheek all the way down to my right foot. Now I dont trust doctors (long story, no need to go into it) so it was basically self-diagnosed as sciatica.
I started out just taking some Motrin to deal with the pain whenever it flared up. I have adopted a new stretching routine every morning that seems to help a lot, and have gone for some massage therapy ( no happy endings ya pervs) but I still am in pain on a regular basis. Wife wants me to go to an acupuncturist to see if that helps but I am hesitant on that.
The good thing about it is it flares up when I sit down for too long, so I have been extremely active, from running at least a few miles a day, taking the pups on hikes, and basically getting stuff done around the house. I just hope it goes away by football season so I can sit my ass on the couch for 10 hours on Sundays Lol
Thats it, just thought I would vent a little bit
