Stupidhead

If the latter, try these two fixes:

1. If you have an exercise bike, ride it for 30 minutes a day for the next week straight....no exceptions. It will help to loosen/open up your hips and relieve any pressure on any potential pinched discs without putting excess strain on the area. Don't go crazy, think zone 2 cardio level. Maybe 80rpms with a lightly moderate resistance.

2. Look up how to do stretches that open your hips and do them for 15 minutes each of the next 7 days.

Sciatica 100% feels like it is low back pain, but the key to fixing it is dealing with the hips, glute and piriformis muscles.

probably just another real jerk in life
