Got myself sciatica flare up. Started right after my last LSS run.. I’ve been on pain for a couple days. It sucks. And I doubt it is going to be few days recovery.. I will have to take a break to heal most likely. Probably few weeks.. I will restart BB block after recovery.

Ok some updates..

It's been 1.5 week since my initial flare-up. First week I spent dealing with pain and lack of mobility. SUCKS! I started to walk at day #5. I figured I need to set some goals. Got a pedometer. I progressed from 5K to 20K steps over period of few days. I decided to get back to some easy rehab movements once I hit 20K.

Here is my grandpa "workout" from today:
- Easy walking warmup for 2K steps.
- Mobility drills. Also easy. Most beneficial once are bird dog, glute bridge, banded side steps (golden!!)
- Some movements (all very light and easy): Rings squat & row combo, Rings pushups, Ring supported semi-pistols, Reverse lunges, KB Curl & OHP, Farmer walks (golden!!), goblet squats, pull-ups, dips.
- Airbike cooldown.

I realize it is going to take some time to recover and to be able to get back to training slowly. I am looking into Stew Smith's recovery program: https://www.stewsmithfitness.com/collec ... ly-injured. It looks damn good. I might just take it very slow and give it a go..
