Arguably, there is nothing more painful than a pinched nerve, a pinched sciatic nerve. It is excruciatingly painful. The first time I experienced a pinched sciatic nerve was on Jan 2nd 2005 wrestling with my dog. I was incapacitated for 2 months and put on 17 pounds from the inactivity. I was in pain standing, laying, and worse yet, sitting. I literally couldn't do anything for almost 2 MONTHS I was in so much pain.
Trying to get into a car was next to impossible. Then getting out wasn't any easier. But I had to do something to find out exactly what my problem was.
I eventually could, barely, make it to the hospital to get some x-rays done. Then an MRI. Lots of perscription painklillers. And to top everything off, I had NO insurance. I had to pay cash for everything and it depleted my savings. With no income coming in because of my disability, it wasn't long before my savings was history. And my business was in a downward spiral. Things weren't looking to good.
So a few months later now I was broke and still in a world of hurt. I felt 20 years older than I was. Having back problems will do that to you.
I finally found out my back problem was related to a compressed disk that eventually pinched my sciatic nerve causing me even more pain than I was in initially. When I was able to move around a little bit I started researching online solutions to my pinched sciatic nerve. I still couldn't sit at my computer chair for longer than a few minutes a time so I kneeled in my chair instead.
I was determined to find out some solutions so I'd never have to go through this again. What I found out in my research was a preventable solution: sciatic excercises
