Hi,
Seeking advice from other athletes who have suffered from Sciatica. How long did it take for the pain/numbness to go away? Did you seek PT, Chiro, etc, help?
I strained my back about 10 days ago and then the Sciatica began. I immediately began icing/heat/Advil/back stretches advised by PT. Have not seen a Chiro since PT is afraid they could make it worse. Am waiting to get an MRI.
I haven't gone back to running yet due to numbness in leg. I am okay swimming (no flipturns) and slowly getting back on the bike.
Thanks!
