Since I couldn’t get into therapy, which has NOT started as yet, the dull pain in my buttock is now going down my thigh; seldom did I feel the electric shock.

I can walk out the pain during the day, but when I sit only about 15 minutes, it’s like I haven’t been out of bed for months. I can hardly stand on that leg in the morning, it hurts when I lie in bed and cannot turn over to the other side; have to sit up and shift my wait.

My question is, should I sit on floor and do stretching exercises? Since I haven’t been to therapy, don’t know what to do. The anti-inflamatories haven’t helped much.

Hey Sciatic sufferers, I am only 24yrs old female and I have suffered since my teens with a very painful sensation in my buttocks and straight down my leg on my left side. I never thought too much to get it checked out or follow up on it via the internet or books until now. I am worried at this point b/c the dreadful sensation comes and goes and sometimes without warning. I read all the feedback on this blog and believe pregnancy, one your feet all day, over doing it, bad posture, and lack of physical exercise are all possibilities for why I may suffer from this awful ailment. Honestly I don’t mind dealing with it from time to time, my worry is that I will get it one day while in the middle of the street and cant move or doing something that requires my natural motor-skills and they fail on me and then what (disaster!) Last night I had a really bad case of the nerve pain, I was on the floor and crying b/c getting out of bed and getting up from the toilet was so difficult and painful. How can I cope with the pain is what I am looking for. I want relief and like most of you said I don’t want to pop tylenol, advil, or ibruprohen. Wish me luck!

I think your sciatica is chronic. Taken surgery before?
I was a chronic sciatica patient before. Based on my experience, massage, acupuncture, reflexology work great on me for a temporal basis. You can give them a try.

There is no easy way to cure sciatica. The point is curing your wounded sciatic nerve and muscle with normal physiotherapy hurts a lot, if you tried that before you should know what I mean.

I personally tried a muscle balance therapy exercises suggested by my doctor when I was announced Failed back surgery symptom (FBSS).

I have written my story in my own blog (http://www.backpainfastcure.com) to thank the muscle balance therapy exercise founder Jesse James for curing my sciatica and lower back pain within 4 weeks.

But I have to warn you that the exercises therapy are not easy. It is quite pain for the first few days, but after 1 week or 2 you should see significant improvements.

Sincerely,
Johnny

I suffer from sciatica down my left leg from time to time,but i have found correct posture and getting to know how your back works and working on good exercises for building muscles to be the most beneficial as sometimes the local doctor will give a pill to relieve the pain pretty much but it doesnt seem to ever be a longterm answer.I suppose its like everything else,familiarity and knowledge of the nuts and bolts of the workings of your back gives you good grounding for longterm recovery,because you understand what movements cause or relieve pain and also you can better understand the need for good footwear,seating,posture,improving muscle strenght.
