Yo guys I am honestly just curious how many of you are dealing with this absolute hell called sciatica because I feel like I am falling apart at the seams lately. I am trying to figure out if my experience is normal or if I am just lucky enough to have it this bad. Does yours feel like a hot wire running from your lower back all the way down into your foot or does it just kind of throb in your glute area all day long. I am struggling to even sit in my truck for more than twenty minutes without my leg going numb and I really want to hear how you guys are actually managing the day to day stuff like sleeping or even just putting on your boots. Does the VA even give a damn about this during C and P exams or are they just going to tell me to take more ibuprofen and change my socks like usual. Just trying to see how you all describe the pain when it gets really bad so I can make sure I am not missing anything when I talk to my reps.
