    Was having sciatic flare ups. Almost mentioned it, then remembered the maintenance guy i was talking to was almost paralyzed due to a back issue.

    Yeah I’m good… comparatively

    Personal age gauge is how many pills you take a night. Currently at 2 🫣

      I know this is not true for everyone, but I had good success with some physical life changes that really helped with sciatica.

      Stopped wearing a leather belt, stopped having anything in my back pocket, started sleeping with a pillow between my legs, and paid more attention to how I was sitting. These, along with core exercises, brought flare up from ~weekly to ~yearly.

      Just sharing my experience in the hope that maybe it’s helpful. Sciatica sucks.
