Need Some Relief
I'm dealing with pretty bad sciatica pain. Not sure what exactly triggered this, but I know having 2 herniated discs doesn't help. I've tried everything to relieve the pain. Do you have any suggestions?

wow. here i am searching for the symptoms you just mentioned and i find that i am not alone. But, I also find that there isnt a quick easy fix. Its been a 1 and a half months now, since the sciatica started, im on the brink of loosing my mind. I would love a good night sleep without waking up feeling like i have been kiked in the ass. lol. good luck to you! all i found is some stretches and Ib Profin. Im out of codine and the inflamation pills were not as good as the constant alcohol.

you need to go see a CHIROPRACTOR…its the only true way the healing can begin…and im not gonna lie..its gonna hurt like a bitch the first few times..but it will get better…pain killers,muscle relaxers etc…are superficial relief and will only help to temporarily ease your pain and are meant for short term use. What you have requires a longterm remedy of the underlying issue. Your sciatica will only worsen if left properly untreated.

Sorry to hear your in such pain..I have back pain as well with arthritus is my lower spine…This may sound weird at first but I lay on my stomach on my bed with my ars and shoulders dangling off my bed for atleast 5 mins
This seems to help me..:)try it!

I too suffer from lower back pain. I went to a chiropractor, but they can only do so much. I finally sucked it up and went to the Dr. where they x-rayed me and gave me pain medications that did not help. The also prescribed me 6 weeks of physical therapy, which does help. In PT, I learned how to bend the right ways when lifting objects, as well as other exercises that will help prevent back pain. Also, the chiropractor told me to ice my back, and the Dr. told me to heat it…

The physical therapist told me to do whatever feels right at the time…it was confusing, but it really did work. I recommend physical therapy, if you haven’t already done it. Also, I find that when I go to the gym on a regular basis, I never have a problem with back pain…keeping your body limber is key!

You have the greatest sense of humor! Are you still having sciatica pain? I have had some success in getting sciatic relieved, but there are too many details to put here.

I’m just now seeing these comments. How backlogged am I!?! lol :) Glad that made you laugh. Had to get some humor in there during a difficult time. :) I’m so sorry you didn’t make it up to Sac last weekend! Would have loved seeing you. Hopefully the next get together we can all make it. :)

So sorry I’m just now getting to your comment. The sciatica finally got relief on the right side. Then in July I hurt myself at work lifting. Up until last week I’ve been down with sciatica on the left side worse than I’ve ever had it. But now i’m finally up and walking around more, MUCH less pain, and actually went grocery shopping for the first time in MONTHS! :)

Do you get the shooting pain into the legs? I have the nerve damage pain where it’s sort of like you got baby alligators in yout shoes or you got a hippo chewing on your spine. Since I had WLS I try to only take liquid tylonal for pain. Now… I’m not saying that always works cause sometimes the pain is beyond a 10 but I cannot take a whole lot of pills so I play around a bit with meds.

@YankeeDiva I used to have the shooting pain into my legs REALLY BAD. Now that the pain has finally subsided, I’m just left with numbness and the occasional back pain for a few days. I sure hope you’re doing better!
