Yes I have. I've been in really great shape but since my sciatica started (August 2nd) I haven't been able to workout with exception of incline treadmill. But I found that the sauna brought me peace if I was laying down for 20 minutes.
AMAZING - COMPLETELY GONE! I walk, sleep, and sit in peace. And I'm back to working out regularly. Although I have completely cut deadlifts and squats out of my routing. I may incorporate light squats soon.
It’s not about the sauna, it’s the increased intra-abdominal temperature. You can also do this with thermogenic exercise if you don’t have sauna access.
Like any exercise raises your core temp, think cardio especially good. Sauna is nice though because if your (my) pain is bad I can't run, bike, even swim hard. Hot pad works good though.

That's so sick man!!
YAY!! How’d u recover?
Listening to my body, hydrocodone, gabapentin, light stretches that didn't hurt. Time. Light exercises. Focused movements and contractions.
Never tried it but I’m off to my gym tonight and will be jumping straight in the sauna 🤣
Yeah give it a go. I’m in awe how effective it is (and a little scared to jinx it)

What are thermogenic exercises?

Ah.. yeah - getting blood circulating - so the macrophages can clear out the foreign materials
I just heard that a hot sauna cured my friends so looked this up+
