Answer 1

I agree with the lidocaine answer. Also, neurontin is good for nerve pain, although it has side effects. Try not to get trapped on narcotics.

Answer 2

Thus, it is very vital that the sciatic nerve works properly. For this reason sitting erect is necessary and the following daily exercise will be found very useful.

In the morning stand erect keeping the legs 12/15 inches apart. Raise the hands and try to go backward from the waist as much as possible inhaling at the same time. Then come forward and bend from the waist with extended hands while exhaling at the same time. It will be observed that due to improper sitting and sleeping practice, the sciatic nerve is contracted and it may not be possible to touch the ground.

However, when this exercise is repeated, you will be surprised to observe that not only are you able to touch the ground but even go further touching behind the legs. Thus, the spinal cord gets fully streched and flow of energy is ensured all over the organs.

It is observed that due to the unexpected jerks and lifting of heavy things, cold, wearing of high heeled shoes, etc. the sciatic nerve gets damaged, causing pain in the legs from waist to toes, knees, etc. There is no damage to vertebrae and so the root cause is not detected even in X-rays. However, when pressed on the points of sciatic nerve (from the ankle ball to culf muscle i.e. 4 inches) pain will be felt. After the treatment on the points of sciatic nerve in both the legs, all pain in the legs including knee pain will subside.

Sciatic nerve : When this nerve is pinched awkwardly and constantly, there is pain in hips, thighs and legs. Acupressure treatment to be given on the points related to sciatic nerve i.e. on the back of the palms (point N0. 9 ) and the lower portions of the legs ( from the ankle ball to uper side upto 4" inches both iner & outer side). It has been observed that faster relief is obtained by giving treatment on the points of the sciatic nerve in the legs for about 5-6 minutes.

Answer 3

Hi:

I also suffer from sciatic pain. I have tried many as you have but I have found a perscription pain patch that works wonderful for me and you can leave it on for 12 hrs at a time. It is:

Lidocaine 5% Patch

Only avail thru perscription. It is worth a try to see if it or something else will help to relieve at least a little.

I do hope that you find some pain relief soon. Hang in there, there is something out there that will help, but you will have to find it by trial and error as to what pain free solution will work for you.

Be strong

Answer 4

I have the same problem. I am about to try chiropractic therapy. I've been advised to exercise and don't sit or lay too long on a soft surface, it will only make it worse. At times I use heating pads or those heating patches. I kind of stretch out that area (kind of hard to explain) it helps ease the pain. I kind of twist my waist as if the crack the lower part of my back and I remain in that position. It takes the pressure off of that nerve for awhile. I also get someone to sit on my butt for a little while too. For some reason it takes some of the pressure off of that nerve. Good luck. 2D

Answer 5

First see a chiropractor, then buy a Yoga video or join a yoga class, and really give it a good chance. You won't get immediate results from the yoga, but over time you will see great improvement in your overall flexibility. I have scoliosis, spina bifida, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and have had herniated discs. My chiropractor told me I may need surgery, but after doing yoga for the last 10 years, I don't even need to see the chiropractor at all. There is no magic pill.

Answer 6

I would ask what is going that is causing the sciatic pain first. Why did they tell you need surgery? Please read riverviewhealthinstitute.com concerning laser psine surgery. Nerve pills that may help are Elavil (TCA old school anti-depressant and Neurontin anti-seizure medication as generics and Lyrica as brand names but specific for nerve related pain.

Answer 7

There is no medicine for almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.
Acidity, WORRY, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation;
Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy are their causes. None of them can be treated with medicine. Our 90% success in treating all pains confirms it.
Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.
Our MERUNIWARAK THERAPY TREATS IT WITHIN 10 MINS ALSO, but you will have to be here.
Avoid SEX to some extent.

Answer 8

If you don't get surgery -- if it has been recommended by a neurologist -- please be aware that you could get PERMANENT nerve damage like I have. Not a good idea. You might try finding a part time job at a corporation that provides health insurance. The hospital I work for hires people with no experience for patient escort, cleaning, and delivery jobs and insurance is available for part timers as well. Be careful. Good luck.

Answer 9

Get thee to a pain management doctor! I was in the same situation as you, though from a different problem, for 5 years (most seriously in the last 2). Pain management has turned my life COMPLETELY around. I can work, I can play, I can get out of bed again... it's amazing. Pain doctors are wonderfully caring individuals who genuinely care about your ability to do the things you want and need to do. Most general practitioners don't have a whole lot of training in manageing pain, especially chronic pain, and dismiss the patients as "hysterical" or drug seekers, but pain docs really understand and want to help.

My pain doc is a diplomate member of the American Academt of Pain Management. He is AMAZING. Their website (http://www.aapainmanage.org/) has a search function that allows you to locate pain doctors who are AAPM members and pain programs that are acreditted by the AAPM. You will need to take all your records from your regular doc, as well as any X-Rays, MRI's, CT scans, etc. that have been done.

As a pain patient, you have to jump through some hoops. You will have to sign a pain contract that states that you will not get prescriptions from any other doctor and that you will only fill at one pharmacy (which you must the name and phone number of to the doctor). It also consents to random drug screening tests to insure that you are taking the medication and random pill counts to insure you're taking the medication properly. In addition, the doctor can find out from your insurance company every prescription you have filled, so they will know if you are "doctor shopping".

These are things that a GOOD pain management doctor will make you do. He's covering his *** and yours. Trust me when I tell you, the relief you will get when you are on the proper dosage of the proper medication is WELL worth the effort it takes to be a pain patient. You will also get assholes who tell you that you are a drug addict for being treated with narcotic medications. DO NOT LISTEN. Narcotics are the oldest and safest form of pain medication, and if you take them exactly as prescribed by your doctor, you will not be an addict, you will be dependent on the medication. Dependence is a physical condition and is a natural result when ANY medication is taken on a regular basis for an exteded period of time. Diabetics are dependent on insulin, but they aren't addicts. Addiction is a behavioral issue and is charterized by extreme cravings for the drug, "doctor shopping" to obatin the drug, continuing to take the drug when it isn't neccessary or when doing so have caused negative consequences to yourself or your family, and other things that pain patients JUST DON'T DO. Please note that withdrawals can result from dependence and are not a defining symptom of addiction. Less than 1 to 5 % (depending on which study you look at) of pain patients become addicted to their medications.

Good luck. If you need to talk to someone who has been where you are or have other questions regarding pain management, I am always willing to answer or just lend an ear. Since I became a pain patient, I have made it my mission to educate others like me on the TRUTH about pain and pain management. I have done (and continue to do) extensive research on pain management techniques, medications, and side effects of treatment in order to be able to dismiss some of the myths and scare tacticts used by the ignorant and repeated by the uninformed. Again, good luck, and feel free to IM or e-mail me anytime.

Answer 10

Some people have had success with intestinal and colon cleanses, the logic being that pressure is created from all the buildup of fecal matter and such.

Whether you believe this or not shouldn't stop you from trying something if you haven't found relief elsewhere.
