Sciatica

SFGiantsMVP Posts: 1,533 Joined: 2005/12/04	2006/04/21, 05:04 AM I have Sciatica from imbalanced muscles, I was doing a lot of abs works and neglected to do and glut and lower back work! How do I correct this and when? It's been a rough 2 months but now most of the back pain is gone but it still remains in the butt, hip and leg. I was staying away from all ab work and only doing stretches and some lower back strengthening while injured along with cardio, swimming, icing and heating! I felt like I was about 2 to 3 weeks away from 100% last week so I started up on light ab work but one day I got a flare up in the pool and now I fee like I set myself back in rehab another week or 2! What can I do and should I do to just get rid of this crap and be able to train in resistance and everything eles at a 100% level again. I do plan on hiring a personal trainer to work with me once I'm 100% ready at the gym and can fully afford it, my goals are to not ever have to work out in the gym without a trainer but that time isn't here yet!
