the exercise I enjoy the most is sprinting, but after a longer pause I always make sure to get at least a couple of weeks of prep work, longer if I have patience

pigeon pose stretch my guy

I've been stretching for a month and this shit still hurts when I sit

>>76580867
try strengthening it then
your piriformis muscle that is

Your back is weak and you are not letting the inflammation subside. Stop doing stretching.

Lots of walking, bodyweight back extensions, then ease into good mornings and front squats until problem fixes itself.

I used to get constant flare ups but then I started doing this shit before every workout as part of my general warmup routine and it's never came back after it was gone

90% of herniations heal naturally in several months time

back extension
I did 60 reps today
crazy back pump, lots of blood flow
and I deal with herniated disc pain since 2019 sometimes so bad i couldn't even sit on a fucking toilet
wiping my ass on my hands and knees, fucking nightmare
there is hope

last time i had a flare up I was back to normal in a week
you gotta move but you gotta move right, hip hinges (weightless) assisted back extensions (use your arms to help)
slowly and steadily bend forward and stand up, move as much as you can as long as it doesnt work, motion is medicine
keep moving

>ruins your vtaper

I've started doing that, not even for my back/sciatica, just cause I figured I've been neglecting core and should work on it lol. But come to think of it my sciatica hasn't bothered me in a while, though I've been working on a lot of shit that may or may not alleviate it.

>Only hurts like hell when resting
Great motivator to keep on moving but I'm only making it worse in the long run. Annoying as fuck.
