I have been having a pain going down my right side, starting around in my buttox on down my leg. I thought I had pulled a muscle playing field hockey. I was talking w/my sister and she said that it sounds like sciatica nerve problem. It really hurts when I drive, but it also hurts if I am just around the house.My back howerver does not hurt, yet. Could this be sciatica problem. What relief can you get. My sister had it for 4 yrs.

Hi,
About four months ago I began having severe pain in my lower back and leg from a pinched nerve and buldging disc at 5L. I couldn’t even get up to go to the bathroom. I got meds from the doctor and went to PT, it was slowly getting better then it reoccured. Now my doctor wants to do a nerve block, can this help?

hey girl. i am a certified massage therapist. go to a chiropractor for this, not a doctor. Also, you will need to get massage at least once a month. Sciatica is cause by your muscles pinching on your sciatic nerve, and having a chiropractor adjust you helps a great deal.

I’ve been having sciatica pains for two years, and have visited many doctors in Clearwater Florida. I’m thinking of going to the Cleveland Clinic….How can I handle this without leaving home>

Dear Louise,
I can relate to your misery as I have spent the last 2.5 mos. in the same condition. All of mine is on the right side though. Unlike you, I could not stand the pain and because I go to a pain clinic, my Dr. there suggested nerve root injections and an MRI. I had the MRI and it showed a disc bulge L5, S1, and also facet joint bone encorachment on the achiatic nerve. Perhaps this will help you a little, but hope you have gotten help by now. I know I could not have lived this long without trying some relief measures. Pain was like nothing I have ever had and I have had 31 surgeries in my lifetime of 60 years.

After donating bone marrow donor through NBMP 10-17-2007 untill current, I have had pain in lower back and down left leg Rating from 3-7 on a pain scale. I have just been told I have Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome. Other than meds that do not allow me to be mentally alert is there anything I can do?
