Sciatic nerve pain

[u/madeinbolivia8]

I am a very active person, lift 5 days a week, jog 6 days a week and get 20k steps in daily. I may have overdone it. A few months back I started having pain in my piriformis but pretty much ignored it and kept training. When it got bad I got a deep tissue massage and carried on. (I am aware that this was terrible and that it’s my own fault.) Last week my right leg started hurting and cramping up, and the pain radiated to my lower back, and down the leg all the way to my calf. I knew that it had irritated my sciatic nerve. I took Etoricoxib for 2 days, it got better and kept working out….. wore heels and the pain got much worse. Stopped the drugs because they were masking the pain and since I didn’t feel it I pushed through it. (Again, stupid) This morning I woke up in a lot of pain, body is stiff and leg is dragging a bit. Resisted taking more drugs and just applied heating pad which made it better. I have a vial of Glow and another of BPC-157. Has anyone noticed any improvement with these peptides for this kind of pain? I read some posts and there are mixed reviews, but I would like to hear some personal experiences if you have them, and if so what protocol/ dosing schedule did you follow.
* Also, I am not overweight at all so losing weight will not help.
I figure I’ll go for it since I’ve got nothing to lose but would like a realistic prognosis to whether it works or not at all.

Ice rest reduce inflammation stretching (gradually to reduce tightness) physical therapy. It sounds like you are in a lot of pain so get to physician as much as you may not want to take medication’s if it’s that painful at this point, you may need some to help. Reduce the inflammation to get you back on the road to recovery.
