I felt good last week to make long rides strongly. But after a particularly difficult walk last Wednesday, my sciatica turned badly, this time on the left. For a few days, it allowed me to awaken the night because I could not find a sleep position without intense pain radiating on the left leg. Fortunately, after a few days of rest and unexpectedly, he calmed enough, so since last Saturday, I could sleep. Saturday, I did easy arm bike, and from that moment, I was able to drive easy for 30 minutes, without any pain referring the leg. I therefore think that inflammation drops and that the sciatic nerve is not much compressed. I also do all the PT I know to open the area. Over the next few days, I will continue to accelerate slowly and easily my constituency as tolerated. I know the exercise of past experience, it can take up to two weeks so that it is easy to clarify. This episode has been well timed because it has been quite rainy here lately, so I have not missed so much by reducing my constituency.
Fortunately, it’s been several months since my last fight. I intend to maintain my average daily training at 90 minutes or less to avoid another recurrence. He had derived more than two hours a day last week when the relapse struck. I will also try to do a better job by doing the PT to strengthen the muscles that stabilize the hip and the lower back.
