Man I would do almost anything to avoid a back surgery at 37.

What form of exercise do you normally engage in?

So while I do indeed have a bulging and burst disk, the sciatica like symptoms ended up being piriformis syndrome. I’m still down for the count.

Update: my weakness progressed very quickly. So neurosurgeon yesterday am, he had me admitted and did surgery this morning.

I feel amazing. Have not taken any pain meds. 0 pain in my leg and back for the first time in years. Just waiting to be discharged home.

The numbness and weakness will hopefully improve over time.

Now the recovery begins
