Doesn't using crutches aggravate your TOS also? I had a heck of a time with my knee injury , I mostly hopped around instead of using the crutches.

[x-rayed it but didt show told me that is probably a disc bulge on my sciatic nerve]
So he is basically guessing at this point?

If the sciatic keeps bothering , some PT or Chiro??
someone that might use LLLT (low level laser - aka cold or soft laser) might do wonders for you.

For both, now that it is some days later you could even alternate heat/cold to stimulate healing. Which is what laser, ultra sound, E stim or LED light therapy would do some of.
