For the past 2 months I’ve been dealing with a bulging disk in my L4/L5 region that is pressing against my sciatic nerve. It has caused the worst pain in my life down the side of my leg, the knee, and tingling down the lower leg. My left side lower back always hurts but the leg pain is so bad i didn’t get out of bed for 3 weeks without mad pain killers. Walking 10 feet to the bathroom had me screaming in pain.
Anyway, a few guys at the gym recommended decompression as a means to lengthen the spinal area which allows blood and nutrients to flow to the affected disk. Increased space should gradually allow the bulging disk to shrink and fall back into the correct spinal position.
Have any of you guys had bad sciatica?
How did you deal with it?
What worked?
What was a waste of time?
I just ordered this decompression device off amazon.
My friend at the gym tried every medical option available from various injections, chiropractor, acupuncture, a doctor with an electric decompression machine which he said didn’t pull hard enough on the spine.
He told me to buy this off amazon. It changed his life from unbearable chronic lower back pain to feeling good again.
Mine arrives this week. Has anyone here tried this?
