I’m curious if anyone has similar symptoms?

Thanks Annie, great advice.
I'm 71 and in my "glory days" I ran 25 marathons. Then osteoarthritis became unbearable. I ran my last marathon in Jaanuary 1999 in Carlsbad, CA.
My lumbar spine is in terrible shape, held together by a strong set of core muscles (according to my surgeon).
As for bulging discs, they do press on the sciatic nerve and cause sharp pain in the buttocks and back of the legs. Fortunately, and along with cortisone, they usually shrink back to normal volume. In the meantime, ice, ice, ice!
Joe

@heyjoe415 Thank you Joey, i'll start ice, ice, ice ! I almost lost control of bowels ( TMI) it was SCARY!
I've had too many MRI'S so insurance wont cover another right now but all indications are its disc herniation.
Once im past this " hiccup" I need to strengthen core, so hard due abdominal injury left years neglected so extensive digestive pain but a while back i strengthen legs/ upper shoulders it helped thoracic back pain / improved my posture.
Oh to be 20 yrs younger, know all the health info thats now available...but determined to enjoy golden years.
May I say: SOME may have heard of Dr Joe Dispenza...im a believer, but adhere to his philosophy or not he teaches, LIVE IN THE GENEROUS PRESENT MOMENT, live in daily Gratitude and Kidness. Love thyself deeply ( so you care enough to be your best version).
This is my daily mantra ...its helped so much on days I wanted to give up.
God Bless All on this Blog...I love how we give freely to each other , our knowledge/ support.
Joey Google Dr Joe, maybe it can help, nothing to loose❤️
