I'm 26 and spent my teens doing construction work, so my body handled a lot early on. But for the last few years I switched to a desk job and now sit pretty much 8 hours a day for work plus another 2 for studying. Basically living in a chair.
About 3 months ago I got diagnosed with a disc extrusion, protrusion and sciatica. My sciatic nerve gets compressed and my foot goes numb whenever I sit for too long. Been through a bunch of meds, got an orthopedic cushion, tried a few things but nothing really moved the needle.
At this point I'm open to trying anything. Recently came across people mentioning collagen powder as something that might help with inflammation. Honestly I'm skeptical and don't know much about it, but I'm at the stage where I'll try whatever.
Would love to hear what actually worked for anyone here.
