 Posted: Mon Oct 19, 2009 12:48 pm Post subject: Is anyone else a sciatica sufferer? |
 |
|
I spent all weekend with a sore neck (no sniggering at the back) and usually I feel my sciatica in my knee or foot. It only dawned on me late on Sunday that it could be sciatica. 
My question to any other sciatica sufferers is: where do you feel yours - is it nearly always downwards?

It might be something to do with your head if your neck is stiff.
How is your head? |

| Only thing to take is glucosamine and condroitin , available from health food shops, takes three months to get into your system but cured me after bad backs and sciatica for the best part of 15 years...swear by it now |

Erm, perhaps not. Glucosamine is widely thought to help with 'dodgy joints' and even if it doesn't the fact is that Guido is better -- who cares if it's 'just' placebo effect?

but isn't sciatica a trapped nerve? My joints are fine, except my fingers  but I get really nasty sciatica. Mostly in my left glute, but also the pain travels down the outside of my leg and into my foot, or upwards into my upper back muscle. I get about a minutes warning and take a couple of mild painkillers and go through an exercise regime taught me by a young lady locum years ago. It works, although looks strange in public places. I always carry painkillers after it first floored me , literally, in Waitroses  So embarrassing. The pain was  and I couldn't move from the inelegant position I was in I'd only bent to pick something off a low shelf.
Sports massages do help.

no,
sciatica is a condition of the sciatic nerve, which runs behind the ilium and down the back of the leg, ending in the toes.

Bowen technique is the answer you're looking for here. Find a practitioner and pay them the money they're asking. It'll be worth it
