I think my sciatic nerve is bothering me ๐Ÿ˜ถ

My lower left side of my back was hurting when I woke up which I didn't pay attention to because sometimes I sleep wrong. But then all of a sudden the pain quickly increased until I couldn't tolerate it ๐Ÿ˜ญ I had my gf massage it out really hard, which helped a ton.

Then we were at the store & it started coming back. I was hoping it wouldn't be as bad but it quickly got worse. Next thing I knew, I was in the car trying everything I could to make it stop. I put the AC on ice cold at full blast & I still kept sweating from the pain. I felt like I was gonna puke & I NEVER cry from pain.. but I felt like I wanted to cry. I didn't but I just kept moaning & groaning like "ahhh idk WTF to do"

When we got home I noticed I could feel it more in every step I took with my left leg. I couldn't even walk right, it felt like I couldn't walk in full motion.

My gf ran a hot bath for me, I took 2 muscle relaxers, an anti-inflammatory pill, & a strong ibuprofen. I never take pills for pain but I did this time.
The hot bath helped calm the pain down pretty quickly & thankfully I feel okay rn ๐Ÿ™ I might've been okay with just 1 muscle relaxer because they were prescription grade & now I feel super floaty... but when I was young I used to pop anywhere from 4 to 13 of them all while still smoking & drinking so I just assumed my tolerance would still be high ๐Ÿคท

All I know is that even breaking my bones never hurt as bad as this pain did ๐Ÿ˜ถ I've heard about sciatic pain before but never knew it felt like this

There is a stretch you can do every day that will ease sciatic pain. You basically lie on your back, bend your knees, cross your left leg over your right, and pull your right knee toward your chest. You'll feel the stretch instantly and have less sciatic pain. I do it every day!!!
