Hi

I was just thinking thats along time to put up with a pinched nerve!

How come you havent had any treatment to get some relief?

I have never known of sciatic pain/pinched nerve to be relieved without some sort of treatment.
Mine was alot better after abit of accupunture.

Maybe some physio or accupunture will help you.

Best wishes
 
I use to get some sort of electroiRAB put on my back but all that did was nurab the pain.accupunture i wont do i dont like needles.it is a long time most people tell me a pinchd nerve should go away but mine never did.*sigh*
 
Hi CTBO,
I am only 31 & I had a fusion surgery last Dec. for L5/L6 slip disc & nerve compression causing sciatica pain. I am feeling much better now. The surgery basically is doneto relieve the pressure on nerves that are pinched due to the disc slipping off it position.
But, if u want to avoid surgery, u may want to try Physiotherapy, Accupunture etc.
I can understand ur feeling as I have lived with it for the past 7 years before taking this decision. Even now, it is too soon to say if the surgery was a success or not.
 
Ctbo,hi iam really sorry for what you are going through,i know how bad that siactica hurts,but i have to ask have you had an mri?i thought i had siatica but turned out i had something called spondylotisis and severe stenosis,which was aggravated by all the yard work and lifting i use to do.please make sure that it really is a pinched nerve a dr cant tell by just looking at you he neeRAB to do those tests.I just dont want you to hurt yourself anymore,not trying to bum you out.I hope everything goes well. marywoo
 
i did the same thing i was trying to start the lawnmower so I know what the pain is like. I had an MRI and xrays but wont know anything until 19th. i do know sciatica showed. i have had a bad back for years on tramadole for it. good luck
