I have a very inflamed sciatic nerve that's been shooting down my left side of booty/leg for 4 days. Seeing a specialist. All I can say is, if you can walk, take advantage. If this goes away, I'll be walking daily and appreciate it a lot more than ever. I feel like a fool taking advantage of the little things and unappreciative. I cried yesterday bc i couldn't even walk or go to the bathroom without shooting pain. Praying this goes away. I'm worried but hopeful this won't last.
