Body Comp 179lbs 17.9 to 11% BF. I went to the Chiropractor around lunch and after that I cooled down then did 1 mile on the elliptical some weights and stretching. By segment 46:17 on the bike HR 155/172. Cool down 116/150 7 mins. Elliptical 8:04 138/154 then roller core weights and stretching 25:32 109/156. Then last night I had soccer practice for my two indoor teams. I ended up moving around a fair amount and every time I ran my sciatic would hurt when the left heel hit the ground.
My Chiropractor said in Layman’s terms I most likely have a disk that is slightly swollen. When I normally hit the ground it compresses very slightly and then goes back to normal. When it is inflamed it is compressing and not decompressing quickly enough. He suggested continue to ice, use Ibuprofen, perform exercises that don't seem to aggregate the problem and give it time. He also suggested running in the pool. He said to try to run once a week for a mile and see how it improves. He said it for sure will improve and he has seen much worse. IT is just hard to know whether it will take a couple weeks or six months.
I am going to see a Sports Medicine Doctor tomorrow. I will be curious to get his take.
