Any of yinz have to deal with this?
Not sure if that's what I have, going to the Dr tomorrow.
Left leg hurts like heck .

Gabapentin and stretches are your friends.

Deep tissue massage and a really good chiropractor fixed mine. Took several months, and still needs maintenance stretching from time to time.

B 12 b3 wife takes ,she says helps

Unless you are having a hip issue it’s probably a symptom of a back injury. Do you remember doing anything recently in the manner of straining?

Im glad it worked for you but.....

Gabepentin blew me up like a balloon.

Doctors tried it twice on me.
Both times it took over a year to reverse it's negative effects.

Stretching did help immensely

Were you taking it as a daily regiment or just when the pain was above management?

I take gabapentin and 600 mb of alpha oleic acid tablets, which are OTC at a pharmacy. Helps me. Doctor recommended. Tablets are 200 mg so I take three at a time.

Sometimes stretching alone helps, long deep stretches, and something for the inflammation, Ibuprofen, aspirin, etc. heat helps too.

I tried everything with no results and eventually had my spin fussed which took care of the problem. I was 69 years old when I had the fusion done, that was 4 years ago.

Dr. Michael Row on U-tube - his channel is spine care decompression. Lots of free stretches and exercises

Just got back from the barber shop, he's been dealing with it off and on for some time.
He showed me some stretches to do so I did some when I got home. Signs of relief already!
Thanks for the replies

Dealing with it for 18 months decided enough is enough went to doctor he ordered an MRI.
Discovered four bulging disc causing the problem.
Doctor got me on steroids cycle now trying to avoid doing any type of surgery.

Sciatic nerve pain finished my spring beaver float trapping for good by golly! Tossing and hauling 40lbers up onto head-high vertical banks got me last spring! It hurt me bad enough that I finally said that I’m too old for that type of trapping now ( be 80 when trapping season starts this year)! Stretching up against a wall multiple times a day eased the pain considerable so I could function but i knew i was looking at the end so i sold all of my 330s, floats, & the quad/trailer! It appears to be the life-cycle of a lone trapper as I’m back where I started when I was 8 years old, trapping, rats & mink, and oh yes, otter, they’re not so heavy on the sciatic nerve! LOL

Steroid shot in the right spot. I had 2 in six month period, neither worked. Went to see a surgeon, he said no back surgery yet but said he would order a cortisone shot. I said I had 2 that didn’t work. He said this one will be in different spot. That shot hurt like crazy but that was 17 yrs ago and no pain since, good luck

… yeah chiropractor… not sure about the wolfer nation deep massage though

…. I got in a bind with my lower back …. Couldn’t stand upright… pecker went numb… not much feeling in my legs

…went to the cowboy chiropractor in town

… he jumped on my legs and made my hips pop

… I threatened to fight him and almost didn’t pay him … told him my hips ain’t the problem … my low back is

… he said give it overnight and you’ll be in here thankin me tomorrow

… he was right…. Felt like a new man the next day

Hook yourself up to a skinning machine for a bit

I'm headed in for a steroid shot in the lumbar next week. Holding out hope that it preserves my ability to set 330's by hand for another season. I was diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis.

BTW, it takes a lot for my wood to get hard these days.... but from time to time I think I feel a splinter.

My sciatic pain was awful for a year. It finally went away with my hip replacement in June. So blessed to be able to walk pain free now.

Chiropractor is the man for the job. You will messing around with medical doc.
