Inversion table is your friend.

Bob and Brad will fix you right up:

Put hands behind knees and raise them as close to your chest as possible .

Lean your legs to one side as far as you can , then lean to the opposite side .

Repeat .

Do this slowly and don't try to force it .

You better get another cause you are far from fixed

It would be the best $300 you ever spent. Been a full 2 years for me now and I would have paid $3000 if I had believed I would feel this good.

man
no kidding
i may get 1 this Thursday

I don't really know what the jesus shot is other than what I read on here a long time back and have forgotten that, but it sounds like a mega steroid shot. Your pain is from an inflamed nerve and swelling . Steroids will definitely help that. Steroids are anti-inflammatory.

Aleve(naproxen sodium) is the anti-inflammatory I recommend but they are really hard on your gut and potentially your kidneys. 440 mg is the recommended dose but I'd take 660mg first dose (I do when my back flares up) and then rest. Rest for at least 24 hours but longer would be better. You have to let the inflamed tissue cool off and the swelling go down. The Aleve is every 12 hours. TAKE WITH FOOD. I'd even take some Pepcid Complete.

This works for me. I've laid flat on my back for 2 days before only getting up for necessities.

There’s a desk my bosses have that adjust so you can stand up and work on the computer it’s kinda cool . I think you get them at Office Depot it’s a platform that you sit your keyboard and monitor on your original desk to move to your height or you can get the whole desk

My only problem is being friends with you! I need to rethink that situation.

No doubt about it.

This and stay moving is what helped me the most

And lots of sex

Do not combine the two.

broke my L4 twice in younger years doing sports --- . As an adult , I have done Chiro hundreds of times -- and it's good for quick relief . I also have an inversion table that i use weekly , along with lots of stretching .
Two years ago , my sciatica went along with piroformis syndrome and I could barely walk , crazy pain that went down my leg and I couldn't feel my foot at all . I tried everything as prior -- nothing was working .
I decided to try a deep acupuncture method ---ONE visit and I had ZERO pain , it was crazy --- best $85 bucks I ever spent . The technique is practiced more with traditional trained acupuncturist's .It wasn't pleasant at all , in fact she hit a nerve in my back and my entire body jumped a foot off the table . She also did a electric stim method while the needles were in --- then did standard cupping after the needles were removed .
