Replies to "@bustrbrwn22- I get flare up of sciatica too. It's one of the most painful things, right?..."
@merpreb after 3 years and $10k’s of dollars and different PT’s I found one that did dry needling that helped in only 1 specific spot in my butt. This was awesome though cause I didn’t realize I had been going to the bathroom on only one cheek for years! If the therapist gets a spot that is afflicted the pain is intense when he dry needling. There is light screaming involved. He also said the stretches were probably making it worse so I do very few like the cat cow and child’s pose. Something about the unusual placement of my S1 through my muscle. When I do the pidgeon I pay for it. In the meanwhile the pain just gets worse I buy custom orthotics but podiatrists have said my gait is correct and it isn’t plantar fasciitis but it makes walking softer. I know I must walk daily but right after I do that’s when the pick axes start on the bottom of my feet up the sides of my calves and right hammie and butttock. I treated myself to a Bluetooth TENS unit but it’s still a slight pain in the ass using it but no tripping on wires! am hoping this new myofascial therapy I’m doing is the answer. And I do the stretches she prescribed faithfully. Thank you so much for taking an interest in me. My condition is so minor compared to everyone else’s so I feel guilty whining but it keeps me in bed most of the day. Any other suggested remedies are appreciated.
