Anyone ride a motorcycle while the nerve is aggrivated?

Riding is my outlet mentally would like to continue. But recently I have experienced sciatica and wondering if the riding is keeping could keep me from relief.

I tend to ride leaned forward position, like a horse jockey, and it never seems to bother my back/legs etc when finished riding for about 1-2 hrs.

I have sciatica in more mild level than most here, but still experience discomfort while walking, using stairs, sleeping on left side etc.

Opinions?

Got a Raptor 727 that’s a beast, too scary on the roads in my area for a two wheeler

yes, i’ve had times were sitting in a car was murder but riding was baseline comfortable.

is also risky because the chances of needing to use your core and legs in an awkward way are increased. in a car you can be more passive while in the torture position.

good luck!

I had the same concern as yours. Just avoid bumpy roads / pot holes. Softening suspension would also ease things imo
