It's a slipped/compressed disc I was misdiagnosed 8 weeks ago

I assumed sciatica as that is what the doctors said, so carried on with stretching exercise working thinking and hoping it would ease up

But Wednesday night at work shooting pains leg in agony hardly stand let alone walk.
Offshore medic refused to put me on a medivac as he said it was just sciatica and to take painkillers.

So after getting of the rig I went straight to james paget MRI scan
It was a compressed disc bulging and another area at the bottom of the spine with nerve damage.

Big old snow flake me working through this for months.
