Hi Guys,


6 Weeks ago I went to a Chiropractor, Merely for the sake of I was getting tiny Sciatica jolts down my leg after sitting for like 14 hours, very minor stuff.

Anyways he clicked me around and I left feeling good.

About 5 days later Suddenly it hit me, the worst SCIATIC pain of my life, My foot was nearly paralyzed.

After getting a CT scan and seeing I had an L5S1 Disc Prolapse I was very upset, so I went straight to Physiotherapy to try fix it.

I'm on my 6th week of Physiotherapy and the symptoms have changed.

Firstly, My Physio was a McKenzie student, but a lazy one, we didnt focus on core or back exercises at all, All we did were leg stretches that would make it so my pelvis was no longer rotated forward.

Now there's another problem, I have terrible muscle imbalance Aches.

Not only that but I've noticed my Hips have shifted, It hurts to walk or lie down, and just in general im in pain 24/7. I feel like my muscles are stretching or doing weird things. It's not a Sciatic pain, its more like someones tied a rope around each foot and is pulling me in strange directions ect

The Big concern for me is Ive noticed my right Hip no longer has a fat crease, instead its got a weird Crease, possibly showing that the hip is out or is tilting or something.

If you look at my Belt line you'll see on the Left I have a Crease where my stomach is, on the right side theres no crease, just a weird / line , almost like im thinner on the right, or my hips higher?

What I'm not sure of is if I should fix it or if its my bodys way of protecting the injured L5S1 Disc.

My Sciatica has completely gone, and whenever I do do Pelvic Correction exercises I get a cold water sensation down my sciatic nerve, that feels like someones put water on my leg.

So I'm really lost as to what to do here, I'm doing Yoga to strengthen the lumbar part of my Spine, as well as my Buttocks and Abs, but Im scared these workouts will strengthen the imbalance as well, causing more pain.

Help!
