How do you get rid of a pinched nerve?

Question

I have a pinched nerve we believe in my lower back and I have had it for a couple months. It is just killing me. It hurts to walk, even to just move. There are shooting pains down my right leg and it wont stop hurting. Do you have any ideas on what I should do?

Answer 1

You can't "get rid" of a pinched nerve. You really need to see your doctor about this. It could be a strain or something serious.

Answer 2

Simply put. The pinched nerve is a regular occurance in most people due to not streching properly during the day. You should really streach several times daily in various ways.
Try cat streches in the morning, lunch and dinner for five minutes.
Try reaching as high as you can with one hand at a time in alternating fashion.
All streches do is provide more room between the tendants and the muscle, allowing the nerve to move and rotate naturally.
We tend to have liited movement when it comes to everyday activity, so loosen up and stretch a bit. Don't expect results in five minutes but rather give it two to three days.
It has taken several days to compress and shrink the area, so give it time to expand again. Another fine tool and excersise machine is the upside down bed, that hangs you inverted for several minutes at a time. This stretches out the vertibrae at the back of your neck and lower back.

Have a good day.

Answer 3

it really depends on how it was injured to how serious as to what treatment to provide. I have bulging disks from L2-S1, mainly L5-S1. At first the doctors thought it was a pinched nerve and after 9 MONTHS of treatment they have no idea what it is. I have done everything from therapy, chiropractor,acupuncture, Epidural Injection into the spine and now they want me to have a Sacroiliac Joint injection.

The best advice is to see your primary doctor and have them order tests and decide the proper treatment. Do some research and ask a lot of questions. Don't depend on one doctor's advice, get as many opinions as possible Unfortunately nothing is a guarantee because the back is so complex that it's hard to pinpoint whats causing the pain. BEST OF LUCK

If YOU cant afford a Chiro- Have you checked with The County health department and see if there is any medical help available FOR YOU? iN MY COMMUNITY : Check to see if there is a Massage Therapy Program- We have one and the "Students" do their Clinical hours in an OPEN call for Massages every week. They only charger like 5.00 and are totally supervised medically. IF the Dr feels you need more help, he often has allows a sliding scale for treatments. 2. I would get to a POOL and relax in the water -yOU ARE 1/3 YOUR BODY WEIGHT. (PAUSE) HAVE TO REBOOT

Answer 5

The shooting pains are because it is your siatic nerve. Its in the top of your butt. See a massage therapist and have your honey duplicate what she does.

Answer 6

Surgery or prednisone injections. You need to see a doctor. It won't just go away.
