I’ve made quite a bit of progress this past week. Now I rarely have sciatica pain down my leg. There is still some pain in my left hip and SI joint, but at least the nerve isn’t pinching. My easy walks are an hour long, just enough to relax. I am also very careful about the strength of the muscles around the hips that are well exposed. I won’t push it any further until I see my orthopedic doctor on Monday and see what he says. But I’m pretty happy with the progress so far, and since I’ve already had a setback, I see no reason to risk speeding it up.
