@merpreb I would be thinking of the new vaccine that I think is a 2 parter
I apologize for my ignorance of my condition I always just refer to it as sciatica. My S1 nerve is hitting a/some vertebrae that isn’t best served by surgery according to neurologists I’ve seen. That’s ok surgery would scare me. Seems like sometimes the pain is worse after from some postings I’ve seen. I am now trying myofascial release therapy and doing the exercises prescribed dutifully. I’ve tried everything else I’ve heard about. For some reason I really believe this therapy will help. Along with cortisone injections I receive. I hope my expectations of the therapy are realistic but all you can do is whine for a couple days and then keep researching for “cures”. The people I’ve met on this forum have given me hope and relief from my loneliness as I’m usually in bed more hours than I’m upright due to the pain.

@bustrbrwn22- I get flare up of sciatica too. It's one of the most painful things, right? I know less than you do which of my v's is pressing on that nerve. PT will help.

Do you have any exercises that you know of to help stretch that area?
