Uep. Sounds like a disc issue pinching nerves feeding down your leg. (I sound like a Dr. I'm not. LOL) I hope they can get to the bottom of it for you soon. Lower Lumbar L4 and 5 is where my issues are.
Same. For years. This is the worst case of sciatica i have ever experienced. I blame the rough ground i was mowing with my kioti. Small wheels, and higher tire pressure. Rear wheels may be 24” tall where my kubota tires are 37” i think.
