I was feeling some sciatic nerve pain in my left butt cheek for a while which would flair up after heavy deadlifts and squats. I felt great while I was doing them and never felt injured, just that nerve pain afterwards. I didn't take is seriously. One day after a heavy leg day, I went to a chiropractor who I met at the gym. He said he could help the sciatic nerve issue. After being adjusted I felt better and had better range of motion. However a few hours later I became very sore. I went to bed that night and in the morning I could barely move. My lower back was locked up. After 2 days of laying in bed whining about the pain, I went back to the chiropractor and he said it sounded like a bulging disc. He said I probably did it doing the deadlifts.
It's been 3 weeks and I've tried to take it easy. I'm on the bike instead of running. I can do chest, shoulders, and back excercises like pull downs and stuff but I haven't done anything that would put pressure on my lower back. It still hurts. I haven't had it x-rayed or MRIed but the bulging disc theory sounds plausible to me.
Sciatic nerve is worse than ever, lower back is weak and sore. Can't lift my legs up without pain in my lower back.
Is there a cycle that would help reduce my recovery time in this situation?
Thanks for your help,
