do you know anything about sciatica?

Question

right side sacroiliac, great pain for 4 days now.

Answer 1

When the sciatic nerve is hurting there is no pain equal. Use a moist heating pad on the area for fifteen minutes and afterwards apply an analgesic cream. This will help the muscles around the nerve relax. If you have any prescription muscle relaxants that will also help.

Chiropractors are excellent in helping reduce sciatic pain. I've enclosed a link where you can find a qualified doctor in your area.

Answer 3

I cured my sciatica with this natural treatment http://cure-sciatica.info
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica.

Answer 4

Sciatica has a typical pattern of pain traveling down the nerve from the hip to the back of the leg and side of calf. There are other problems that can mimic sciatic nerve pain, such as muscle spasm and sacroiliac joint problems. Differential diagnosis between these entities is essential to getting relief.
