    I’ve been suffering from severe sciatica for 6 months now. I am 33. I am in shape, exercise every day including running, yoga, and lifting. Gunna get steroid shots to hopefully help me break the cycle.

      I got sciatica at 37. I exercised regularly, running, yoga, lifting… What fixed it? Regular walking. Yep. Just an hour of walking around fixed the issue yoga and weight lifting couldn’t.

      Got sciatica a few years ago, it was sudden and excruciating. Luckily it went away by itself, and so far it hasn’t come back.

      I couldn’t even lift my foot 10cm

        Rn I pretty much only walk for exercise, plus the PT exercises focused on strengthening supporting muscles and providing spine extension.
