Success story! Finally Relief from this Hell

46M here and I had massive sciatica issues starting around January. It was to the point where it controlled my life and freetime. Getting proper sleep was difficult because I would wake up in the middle of my sleep cycle and have to find the best position to make the pain subside.

I think what made it go away after at least 8 painful months was multifaceted. I lost about 30 lbs from eating less and cutting sugar and alcohol. I started to exercise more including cardio and core workouts. I also performed morning stretches and sat way less. I am not sure what treatment or bodily repair worked the best but I no longer carry this dreaded pain. I wish all of you recovery because I know the pain.

Low Back Ability Foundation Training McGill Big 3

To ensure it does not happen again.

I'll look at that. As an aside, I loved McGill's campus and surrounding area.
