Mornin' all...pincushion here
After enduring a three-needle epidural and steroid injection, multiple bodily punctures yesterday, I wondered whether pilots have a greater number/ratio of men/women with sciatica than non-pilots.
I've endured 45 years and around 20,000 hours of flying, mostly ag and have been hammered by extremely rough air, every year...the worst hammering being in my RV's...because of their speed/low wing loading.
Does this beating have a long term effect on whether or not your chances of developing sciatic nerve/leg pain problems are greater than non-pilots, or could it be...in the words of Jimmy Buffett..."Yeah, it could be my fault"....for being 66
Thanks,
