Sciatica

[cookinbrak]

Anybody know anything about it? Been having back twinges since yesterday. Not pain so much, just nerves in my lower back and legs feel like they're being pulled.

From a pulled back muscle perspective, I've run into that on occasion (been told it's fixable by More Exercise and Losing Weight).

Typically, goes away after 1-2 weeks of careful moving/sitting/lack-of-lifting, and one (sometimes two) Aleve a day.

More medically-oriented Huddlers will have better advice and insight

Not really pain. Ever see one of those little dolls that have elastic attached to all of the arms and legs? Push the button on the bottom, relax the elastic, and the body flops. Release the button, it stands back up. It feels like that. Like somebody is grabbing a handful of nerves in the center of my back, pulling, and then releasing them.

I had it and chiropractic corrected it for me. Not a fan of the industry as their appear to be a good number of quacks, but there’s no denying it worked for me. I’ve started going again for a neck/shoulder issue and getting results already.

OK, the thing I have isn't constant. The last time it happened was over a year ago. So I'm not sure what it is.

What about an inversion table? Walmart has one for 100 bucks.
