Sciatica¿?

Question

Has anyone here ever experienced sciatica? If so what did it feel like? How long did it take to recover? What treatment did you do? 
Last Sunday, i was running then i felt like a tight pain (lasted for a few seconds)in my hip. I stretched and it went away so i went on with my workout. Later my calf started to hurt a lot. It been 5 days now and my leg hurts. Up and down my leg. From my hip to my ankles. I mostly get pain in my calf and hip. When i standup and walk i can feel my leg getting tight. Anyone else experience this?

Answer

i am seeing a physical therapist for this. one exercise that helps is the “seal”. flip onto your belly, and push yourself up on your hands, arching your back. next, do bridges. not full on gymnastics ones, but lay on your back, bend your legs, and push your hips upward
additionally for leg and back pain due to this, you can use a foam cylinder to roll out your calves, thighs, back, and butt. one i like doing, is sitting almost on my hip (still on my butt tho), putting one leg almost over the other, and rolling. you’ll feel when it hits the right spot. i also do a stretch where you lay on your back l, bend both knees, cross one leg over (almost. ever see a “fancy man” sit? almost like they’re making a 4 with their legs!), clasp your hands on the bottom part of your thigh on the best leg that’s still on the ground, and pull toward yourself 
a lot of this probably doesn’t make sense so i’m sorry !! reply or pm if you want a more in detail explanation. also, the internet is great ! it can help you find things to ease the pain. best thing to do in my opinion is see a doctor who can send you to a physical therapist

Answer

Not sure if it’s the same exact thing but my sciatic nerve was pinched all the time when I was pregnant. 
I went to the chiropractor once or twice a month, he would adjust it and I would feel better, then one day at work and I was back to hobbling around everywhere. Literally.
Keep in mind I was a waitress and I worked all the way up to the night before I went into labor. 
Aside from the chiropractor, I was taught stretches my fiancé could do or I could do myself to help me relieve pain.

Answer

Thats sciatica. I got it a lot while pregnant. Heating pad works great and gentle hip and back stretches to loosen it up. I found it hurt worse if i was still for a long time. Standing up every half hour and doing some hip swivels (looked goofy but whatevs) kept it pretty mild

Answer

That sounds similar to my sciatica symptoms. The chiropractor helped me a ton!

Answer

I'm currently working with an RMT but she thinks my pelvic floor is too tight and that's pulling my back. She's referred me to a pelvic floor physiotherapist.
