Not a pulled muscle.

 

So my pulled muscle of a while ago turned out to be sciatica.

It went on for 2 months and one week during that time I could hardly move.  It was a little better if I walked bent at 90 degrees at the waist.  I had to call an UBER to go to a friend's house which is a ten minute walk away.

I've never had sciatica before and I hope to never have it again.  It is a totally miserable experience that I would not wish it on anyone.

I'm currently having physiotherapy.  Not that it can guarantee no further attacks, but I'm doing exercises that should increase my range of motion and strengthen muscles.

The good part of all this is that I am feeling more flexible and that perhaps I'm not quite as old and decrepit as I have been feeling lately.
