Sorry to hear about the injury Dan. On the other hand I'm glad to see your still managing to work the yak and catch some Pike! Good looking fish! Hopefully the problem goes away somehow. Go get em buddy!!!

nice fish dan. feel better man. did they give you exercises to do? I started getting a little of that shooting pain, no where near what you're experiencing, but some counter resistance hamstring stretching every night for about a week pretty much totally alleviated it

nice fish, hope you can get a little relief from that nasty hell that back pain can be. three things you don't want to deal with TOOTH PAIN,KIDNEY STONES AND BACK PROBLEMS.no matter how tough you are those problems will bring you to the brink of insanity.glad to hear that you were able to get some time on the water. hope you feel better, tight lines.

Epidural injections and nerve blocks have diminishing returns. You'll need them more and more frequently as time passes. Same with the meds. Look into physical therapy and acupuncture. Sciatica pain is no joke and the avenues of non surgical relief vary in effectiveness on a case by case basis. Spinal decompression and inversion tables can aid in relief. So can yoga...

While I don't suffer from sciatica I'm just about bone on bone in my cervical spine with degenerative disc disease. When it flares up it can take me 45 min just to get out of bed. Rough for a 33 yr old. I'm holding off on surgery until I'm comfortable with the technology.

But kudos for coping and banging some fish dude. Many of us unfortunately feel your pain! Mine goes away temporarily when I fish!

Legs are tough, they are weight bearing limbs, never easy. Glad you got out, nice pike BTW !!

Keep going buddy I know the pain is unbearable. 3 months ago I couldn't walk my legs would just give out and the pain was incredible. I have been going to physical therapy and chiropractic care. I can now walk and im getting stronger everyday. Im still in pain but much less. I try to fish however I can usually from a chair. Im glad you were able to get out and fish. I will pray for you. Always try to find a way to fish it is in our blood we have to do it to feel complete. God bless
