New to Sciatica, where should I keep my bag 👉👈

Hi fam,

It started almost 3 weeks ago, most probably from gymming, but I don't know how anything happens to anyone.

Background - 26M, sedentary for the most part, but works out regularly.

It started with muscle pain in my right glute and back and down the leg. No numbness for the first week.

I saw an Ortho; he figured something like Sciatica and gave me meds. From the second week, numbness started when standing up after sitting. He added one med which was for nerve damage.

I got an MRI; results:

Mild straightening of lumbar spinal curvature. Vertebral bodies are normal in size & signal intensity. Desiccative disc changes seen at L5-S1 level. Gap - 9.1 MM.

Right now, I'm starting PT & on meds. What are some dos and don'ts? I want to fix this completely.

Problems being faced:

  1. Hurts when I sit in my glute. Only right leg.

  2. Numbness in foot.

No major pain.
