it's important that you understand, sciatica may come & go, yet the entire time length from original onset until impingement repair can determine how long it takes to reach maximum possible extent of recovery from nerve damage.
In other words: mine used to come & go. because it
would GO during times, I tolerated it, never thinking of irreparable damage. but eventually it came more than went, & eventually became suddenly constant.
the rule of thumb for predicting the time needed for max extent of recovery is: how long ago did it start, 1 yr, 5 yrs?
After the impingement is stopped, your pain or damage will achieve max possible relief after that same length of time has passed.
I still have PITA down to my hip, and have to concentrate on one front of foot 'lift', especially on the slightest uneven terrain.
Azz pain flairs from average necessary actions.
So my point is, think about the risks of waiting to seek fixing.
I liked physical work my whole life & hate the repercussions I have now... they are my own stubborn fault.
Pain hits from picking up grandkids, cleaning, caring for my horse. and even simple bending over to buff acrylic tanks- which I consider a very minimum chore.
sometimes I don't even
know why.
I was always thin, but lifestyle changes hit that too
