OK you brainy lot any cure for sciatica?

Question:

Answers:
Sciatica is pain traveling down your low back to the foot. It has many causes from space occupying lesions (SOL) to a herniation disc to osteophytes (bony spurs) at the intervertebral foramen (IVF). Unless you know what causes it, it is hard to treat except by pain killer medications whoch do not address the cause(s). An X-rays film or MRI can give an idea!

Yes. Don't laugh - this is absolutely serious & it works. TAKE YOUR MOBILE PHONE (or maybe its your wallet) OUT OF YOUR BACK POCKET.

decapitation from the neck down you wont feel it afterwards

Take plenty of aspirin !

Stop sitting in front of your P.C. all day.

Don't think there is one - my Nan's had it for years. Physio might help.

No. I will go away on its own. While you have the pain, treat the symptoms with over the counter medication.

Most cases of sciatica can be effectively treated by physical therapy or massage therapy and appropriate changes in behavior and environment (for example cushioning, chair and desk height, exercise, stretching). Other conservative treatment options include anti-inflammatory medications (i.e. NSAIDs or oral steroids), pain medications, and epidural steroid injections (however the latter carries the risk of possible side effects and complications from the needle puncture and medications used).

"Alternative" and "complementary" treatments include chiropractic manipulation which may give short term relief [2]. Acupuncture has no effect beyond placebo in treating sciatica.

attach a clothes prop to your back using blue electrical tape then over the top of that put on a woman's corset have someone lace it up very tight put on some yellow court shoes and go to the pub it wont cure the sciatica but you will look so ridiculous you wont feel Any back pain

i have the answer sit in a hard recliner chair for about 5 days this works dont move as your sciatica nerve has been damaged its like a cut on your finger it needs time to heal , this worked for me.

I don't have an answer for a cure as such and many of the answers here have their place but two tips that I was given I found invaluable, during an attack take plenty of rest ,lying on the opposite side that you r having probs with.
Another is when your bending down obviously bend your knee IE into a squat, but try to make sure when you bend down that your shoulders never drop below your knees its about that height that it seems to get trapped again.
One more thing so i guess that's 3...lol lifting heavy things often can set it off , even though under normal circumstances I can lift things when I'm vulnerable it seems to trigger it and prevent it from healing.
Other than that if you find an actual cure please pass it on..
best of luck...

I found keeping the area warm relieves the pain.
PS tony its physio therapy
