sciatica (s-eye-attic-a).

it's a pain that runs from my lower back down to the back of my knee pit but the pain is mostly centralized in my left butt cheek. i had it in the back of my right leg in 2007 and it lasted for about 8 months and i never did anything about it.

so when i got it in my left leg and butt cheek i went to the doctor and he told me that his wife had a condition called sciatica and he did some stretching tests with me to see if i had the symptoms which i do.

in 2007 i just woke up one morning with severe pain in the back of my right leg and lower back which, as i said, lasted for several months. this time around i'm sure it happened as a result of new crappy chairs we got at work a couple of months ago that have no back support. everything was fine until i sat in the new chairs just once.

basically what is happening is the 2 bottom-most discs in my spine have gotten a little out of place and are putting pressure on my sciatic nerve which can cause pain that runs down the entire back of the leg. the pain goes from severe to not too bad and mostly hurts when i sit.

so the doc gave me a few stretches to do in order to 'reshape' my spine and heal my sciatica. so in my case it's mostly butt cheek pain.

anyone want to touch my sciatica?

No, but I might be willing to give you a swift kick to help you feel better.

Seriously, hope your pain goes away.

I think it's a result of bad karma. All those negative wave posts you sent out are coming back. The answer is YOGA and positive wave mantra.

Have you had an MRI?
