Thread: Sciatica- can I ever train legs again?

Been suffering sciatica, agony, it comes and goes... any hip hinge movement or hamstring exercise sets it off though.
Done some basic research on what exercises I should avoid
- basically any leg exercises and also bent Row.

As an ex powerlifter I lived for leg day. So its pretty depressing to read that.
Any fellow old folks got any experience with sciatica and lifting?

Hiiiiii good to see you

My sister in law does not lift but she had sciatica and was in a lot of pain but eventually it disappeared completely. I think it lasted around 6 months on and off. And then it just went away by itself and she is fine now.

Hi hey you're still here
Maybe I just rest legs a while and then try again?
I've had really bad hip tendinitis a while back too, had scans injections and months off gym. Dreaming of a hip replacement now tbh
