increased sciatic pain

Hi Amanda, you and I started having sciatic pains in the same month this year. The majority of my pains have finally subsided. Im about 90% done with this horrid disability. I too remember when I over did my activity during the day, I would pay for it in the evening. Your chiropractor and physical therapist should of given you a list of do's and dont's. Watch your bending, twisting, lifting heavy things, walk. I think you def over did it in the garden. Are you doing any prescribed stretches and excercices?

Amanda, have you ever tried acupuncture for your pain? That's what really helped me for pain since I can't take prescription meds. I'm so curious on what your MRI is going to show. You won't find out for a few days after. Mine was L4, L5, S1 disc bulge. Keep fighting. Kindly let me know.

Yes, my physio also had me lay on the floor for many months. Once the pain subsides starts to go away, maybe you will be able to graduate to a recliner? Acupuncture does not cure sciatica. But it does numb the nerves Do whatever it takes for the pain. Acupuncture does not cure sciatica. It numbs and relaxes the nerves so that you can have some relief. Does shiatsu massage help you? I would think it would be kind of tough on the lower back? Do whatever it takes to get your pain relief.

Have you tried with Acuraflex capsules and cream? It helped my wife a loot.. you should at least read about it...

Ty Michael for this info. This acuraflex sounds like the real deal. It has all the important pain relieving an anti-inflammatory natural ingredients in it. I'm actually taking the supplements in this acuraflex separately. Maybe Amanda could benefit from this.

Hi Amanda,

I'/m going to give you the best 2019 New Year's present that you will receive for the coming year; an insight in how to 'cure' (or permanently reduce the pain associated with Sciatica.)

The key is to identify 'where you are getting the pain from. Doctors cannot identify it with MRI"s, Xray's and other diagnostic tests. They cannot find it because it is microscopic and comes from BACTERIA. The bacteria is what you ingest when you eat almost ANY FOOD.

Therefore when you eat chicken, ribs, meat, eggs, cheese, milk, fish, shrimp, (and other vairations) you WILL get pain. It will intensify when you eat meats (especially chicken and hot dogs/pork). Check to see if your pain INCREASES within 1-2 hours of eating hot dogs (from Costco for example - some of worst bacteria). This is not only from your local and state food sources. This is a Global Epidemic.

This comes from 'unintended consequences of the food and dairy industry using ANTIBIOTICS in their food production. "Super bacteria in the cattle, chicken etc, survive enough to be eaten by individuals. The bacteria immediately goes into the blood supply and is distributed to the back, side and other lower extremities and inflames the nerves in the back and leg that control pain.

This is easy enough to prove. Simply go ahead and eat Pollo Loco (some of worst bacteria chicken around). Your pain will increase. It will intensify and increase to sacral areas and also down the leg. The immediate amelioration will come from a) going Vegan or b) making sure that ALL Food that you eat that is in these categories are 'organic' (no antibiotics). Even food that is organic, however, that is cooked on the same grill/pans as non organic will get infected and spread the bacteria.

Also, most people that will be affected will mostly be over 50 years of age and have weakened immune systems having had themselves doses of antibiotics in the past 5-10 years administered by doctors for anything from the flu to sinus problems.

CURE - Besides making what now sounds like 'radical' food changes in your diet there are 'supplements' that will 'finish the job' to kill off the bacteria and make your pain free moving forward. These can be purchased from Amazon, whole Foods, and Sprouts for approx. $35. Regardless, the hypocrisy and random stupidity of the CFAO's (Confined Food and Animal Operations) that produce our tainted food supply is in a 'UNHOLY ALLIANCE with the pharmaceutical industry which sells them the antibiotics and hormones. It' s a horrible and insidious malfeasance.

If there is enough response to this posting then I will go further into what supplements will cure the pain.

Amanda, have you ever tried Stem cell therapy for your increased sciatic pain? That's what really helped me for pain since I can't take prescription drugs.
