7 months with sciatica and stenosis. Basically crawling from the kitchen to the living room to now, classroom teacher duties. (on your feet all day). However for several months of healing, I'd get very painful aches in the left side (sciatica side) of my lower back, left leg, buttocks, calf and foot. One of these areas would get very painful for a couple days. Then the pain would subside. But in the area where the intense pain was, it would now be black and blue. Like a bruise. This has happened on my left foot, twice my left shin, in back of my left thigh and once oddly enough on my left inner bicep. My physical theripist said he had never heard of such a thing but figured it must be a nerve rupturing and releasing the build up blood pressure in the nerve. Brusing internally more or less. Anyone else experiencing this? This is still happening after 7 months of healing.

I've had bad sciatica a number of times. Some were caused by trauma (falling on my hip) or locked SI joints...all were fixed rather quickly by a chiropractor.
However, one time NOTHING worked. The neurosurgeon found a bone spur literally "crushing" (his word) the sciatic nerve root at L4/L5. Simple laminectomy with decompression and I was pain-free in a day.
I'd take a look at that possibility.
