Hello John- Thank you for pointing out this information. It was very helpful. I never heard of sciatica before, but it sounds like this may be an issue. I will ask my doctor about it, and also start getting more exercise. Thanks again.

There are exercises that can help sciatica nerve pain but you generally know what is going on and how to deal with it after an MRI. If it is bothering you and effecting your ability to function or sleep, ask your doc about getting one done. This could be a lot of things but until they can see it, everything would be a guess based on symptoms.
If you have never had an MRI done before, they are painless and there is little to no prep involved. The noise of the machine and the close quarters can irritate but most MRI’s are done within 20 minutes or so.
