Hey guys, so I'm almost at the end of my lengthening phase but one problem I've had for over a month now is sciatica which shoots pain down my left leg when I'm seated in certain positions or when I'm lying in bed. I've never had sciatica or any other issues before surgery, I'm not too sure what caused it. Have any of you guys suffered from this during LL and if so did it eventually go away?

I find it too if I'm sitting in my wheelchair for more than about 10 minutes. If you suffered from sciatica before then I'd say the lengthening would definitely aggravate things to bring it back again. I never had it before and it was Dr G who told me what it was, I can't remember if he said it would go away or not, I'll need to ask him when I see him next time. I'd be interested to hear from other LL's to see if this is a long term thing or not.
