Patient's question:
I am a white-collar worker, and I usually train for ten hours a day. Although it is very tiring, I have to keep going for survival. But a few days ago, I noticed that my buttocks hurt again, especially my waist feels weak. Hello, am I suffering from sciatica?Doctor's answer:
You are experiencing lower back discomfort due to interference with the sciatic nerve caused by prolonged sitting. It is recommended that you pay more attention to exercising regularly and avoid sitting for such long periods. You can engage in activities like morning runs daily. If the pain is severe, you can take pain reliever medication like Advil first, and then go to the hospital for acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture treatment typically lasts for 7 days, with each session lasting 40 minutes.
