2010 Disabled List

Sciatica has been acting up for the past 4 weeks. I went for a massage 1.5 weeks ago and usually that loosens it all up enough that it works itself out--it didn't this time. Seems the non-ergonomic chairs I'm forced to sit in at school for extended periods aggravate it--if I keep moving, it burns a little but it's much more tolerable. If the next round of massage doesn't work, guess it's time to call a chiropractor. My mom was around my age when she had to have back surgery for a herniated disc... I hope that's not in my future.

Pulled a calf at a workout last night during warm-up exercises. Felt a twinge going up stairs at home before leaving for the workout but thought it would be OK once I warmed up...guess I was wrong.

Can hobble around this morning but it's quite painful. Ugh.

no! no! no! It's too early for that. Odd you bring this up. I was just thinking this morning about how awful it would be to get injured early season and be out for the remainder. Especially with a boatload of vouchers in my pocket!

Hope it turns around quickly for you.

Hope it all works out for YOU and Hammer !! Sciatica is nasty !

My son a marathoner and former University level track and field athlete developed a pretty bad Sciatic issue . He was unable to ski 3 season's ago because he also developed a Morton Neuroma at the same time and has had some other irritating neurological issues. Painful and nasty

BUT intensive PT solved it for him , It took about 3 months of treatments but he's been pain free for several yrs now is still able to compete and ski

Thanks...according to Dr. Internet and my own self-diagnosis I should rest it for at least a few weeks. I'll most likely get to my PCP to get a read as well, but unless it's a serious tear I only see a slight delay in getting to the start of the season.

Read about a few instances where people re-injured it because they resumed activity too soon so I need to be careful there.

What's frustrating about the injury is that I really wasn't in a situation where I was really stretching the muscle.

Dodged a bullet on this one...healed up in about 2 weeks and I had no problems on the slopes. Still a bit sore if I press on the calf but otherwise no issues.

Well, it took a full seven weeks, but I'm basically pain-free from the hernia/resection op. I had a middle back pain condition while sleeping spring up the past few weeks, but that's beginning to subside. I think it was a result of jumping back into almost normal activity too quickly after being basically sedentary (for me) for so long. I think I'm going to give it a few more weeks before hopping on the mountain bike for a few mellow rides, but I should be good to go for ski season!

Yep. Good to go for the season. I think there will be tenderness in the surgery areas for some time, but overall no pain while skiing. More of a fatigue feeling the night after skiing, but basically pain-free the next day. Phew for me as well.
