I see a lot of people (rightfully) complaining about their sciatica, and I know many of these people might not be able to see physical therapists or doctors for various reasons, so it’s time to learn about the sciatic nerve glide! This will help with numbness, and also some pain, and it’s super easy. It’s technically a stretch.
Instructions
Sit with the affected leg stretched out a bit with your heel on the floor, foot is angled upwards.
This sounds weird for a back stretch, but lean over.
With your heel still on the floor, angle your foot up and down like pushing on a pedal.
Sometimes you will feel a stretch in your muscles, but this is stretching and moving your nerve. This has helped me bring feeling back into my leg.
As with any stretch, don’t do it too quickly, or for too long, and listen to your body.

It hurts so much to be misaligned it hurts so fucking bad everywhere and I don’t think people realize scoliosis isn't just being crooked
it hurts so much to walk when you can't do it easily, it hurts trying to force your limbs to move in a natural way that is foreign to your muscle memory
it hurts trying to fix your posture because your spine physically cannot straighten, it hurts to walk because your hips are uneven and your feet are off center too
it hurts to limp because bodies aren't supposed to only walk in that manner, but limping hurts so much less than forcing yourself to walk “properly”
the arthritis that comes with being crooked hurts, your joints grinding together in an unnatural way, aging your joints to a degree of degeneration found in middle aged people
it hurts to move because your overcompensating muscles are so tight, and it hurts to sit for too long because your spine fatigues easily
it hurts to breathe at times, it hurts too much to be without distraction
it's not just about being crooked, and it’s so much more painful than you’d think

After years of putting it off, I finally got my first cane.
Definitely having mixed feelings about it. I’m worried about judgement coming from people who have seen me move around without a cane, and people claiming that I’m faking a disability because I’m young.
At the same time it’s such a relief to have something that provides me with more stability while moving around. My left leg has gotten so weak and I’m constantly scared of falling after my leg has given out multiple times (once on a flight of stairs)
I’ve got great friends who are super supportive of me finally getting a mobility aid and are willing to fight anyone who looks at me funny, but it’s definitely going to get some taking used to.

I got to go out and see the sun today 😭 We just did adulting things like picking up my Meds, getting a few things from WalMart, grabbing Vape Juice for my Husband, etc. But I walked! It was hell, and I am in so much pain now, but I walked!
I walked the whole time around Homeland, and around WalMart, and I went into the Vape Shop with him (I was hoping to get some CBD Oil at the Vape Shop, but no dice. They don't carry it anymore 😞). For lunch we just went through the drive through so I could have some rest finally.
Now I'm going to eat my Burger King, take a bath, and then do a massive amount of TENS / EMS / MA therapy on my leg. And with any luck, the walking I did today will help somewhat as much (though hopefully just as much) as it did last time, on Wednesday 🤞

Nerve pain is the actual worst because it doesn't follow any kind of rules. I could feel like my hip and thigh are badly bruised one day and wake up the next feeling like my entire leg has been spaghettified by a black hole and is also on fire

Tonight’s combo is: heating pad on my neck/shoulders, ice pack on my lower back/hips, and electric blanket across my legs. Also: legs propped up, and blankets bunched up on my sides under my arms like little arm rests.

*entire body screaming in pain all day*
*drugs kick in*
*entire body softly groaning in pain*
My sleep brain: fuck it, close enough, time to sleep.
My THC brain with ADHD (or the other way around): You fool, you think we're not going to read Whump fics for an hour and then dream an entire episode.
*drugs kick in harder*
Yeah I'm good now. Kick harder, drugs.

Slept less than 5 hours last night. Awoken by screaming Leon
Dragged my ass into the shower cuz I sorely needed a scrub. Bent over to reach something and strained my back
I am clean and fresh now... but at what cost...

My legs have been hurting a lot lately and I’m starting to wonder if maybe my butt-muscle-clenching tic is the cause… Tourette’s induced sciatica, anyone?

I’m in agony with sciatica/my whole spine currently. Couldn’t sleep. Spent the morning between the floor and the sofa. Tried to brush my teeth, nope couldn’t stay standing up. Doctors insist this is psychosomatic. I can’t.
