Got two bulging discs 5 years ago (L4/L5). Have impingement on my femoral and syatic nerves.
I ride a desk for work and do hobby farming to stay active outside of work, and work part time as a first responder (EMS)
I have a cane for bad days, and meloxicam for really bad days/weeks.
Doing CPR sucks, running sucks, basically most excersises suck. I can’t pick up my kids as much as I’d like, and I am having a hard time convincing my wife to let me try bull riding… doing to much gives me nerve shocks down both legs from by butt down to my heels.
But, I push through and try to stay active.
I’ve done physical therapy twice, both times made it worse. Tried a chiropractor, each visit would give me about 45-60 minutes of relief after the procedure.
Long car rides are about the worst. I’ll be bent over almost double getting out. During isn’t bad, it’s the straitening out afterwards.
