I find using the tens machine for my lower back nerve pain is helpful. I also use a heatpad.

Hi Margaret

Welcome to the site.

I bought a Shitzu massage machine online from Amazon and that helps also keep your back warm as much as you can. X

start taking calcium and magnesium with vitamin D ...i.ve just spent a year with the most intense syatticer pain just like yours cud.nt sleep...eat...walk..nothing..in pain all day long all night long...was seriously getting to the point of suicide coz I cud.nt handle pain nomore...doctor gave me...pregablin and codeine and amitriptyline but after awhile they stopped workin...so done sum research on internet and found out about Calcium and magnesium and a friend also told me that it wud get rid of my pain..which I thought was crap...but I thought might as well give them ago...magnesium deals with the nerve pain and calcium mends your bones and vit d just make,s u happy 😊 after a few days of taking them I was pain free and cud walk again ☺ and actually had the best nights sleep in a year it was heaven...and I cud eat again..😊 apparently as u get older u become deficient in these,s minerals and that,s wat causes all the ache,s and pains...so most people with pain just need calcium and magnesium and vitamin d...and it will change your life so get buying and start living again...😊 trust me they work..😁 let me know how u get on....xxxxxxx 😍😊😍😊

I have suffered from chronic lower back pain and debilatating sciatic nerve pain running from my back straight down to my foot.Ive tried every form of medication,physio ,natiral remedoes thecwhole lot.Dealing with the pain clinics is just a complete waste of time.I recently had deep compression back fusion and a cage added to stop my spine from slipping .I was discharged from the spinal unit 48 hrs after my surgery a new woman.The pain down my leg has subsided,ibhad a new vertebrae put in my L4 L5 space,my back pain is also a lot better.I was on the verge of killing myself now i cant thank my neurosurgeon enough.I live in Perth Australia,backwards when it comes to chronic pain.Gabapentin is the best out of the nerve pain meds i feel like ive been a crash test dummy for these pain drs,nothing good to say about pain clinics.

Hi Margret

I am sorry to hear are suffering with this. There are some daily stretches that help, along with cupping in combination with massage therapy that will help.

Hope you feel better!

Ash

Many thanks I'm way better than I was it's under control now but it could go anytime and the pain can be horrific again I'm just careful could cope with it...I have pain as ll the time but can cope with it x

[johnsmith]

You can't. If the pain is due to pressure on a nerve then you need to find ways to take the pressure off the nerve.

Pain killers do what it says on the tin they kill pain. However, they kill sensitivity. Thus because you have lost sensitivity you can do more damage to the part causing the pain. The result more pain.

You need to investigate physical treatments available to help reduce the pressure from mechanical sources.

I have had syatticer nerve pain for at least a year and what a nightmare that was and my pain was.nt just in my leg it ravaged different parts of my body on different days 😐 so painful I.d have it in my chest and neck and wud feel like I cud.nt breath ...in my arm..in my torso..in my leg..so on so fourth as u know I.m sure...it rendered me useless cud.nt sleep...cud.nt eat...cud.nt move...and Christmas eve and Christmas day was the worst pain in my knee I.d ever experienced it was coming in waves every 5 minute's it was unbearable cud.nt open my chrimbo presents let alone eat chrimbo dinner 😐 so it was a miserable time for me😐 and by then I was seriously contemplating suicide I was at my wits end...the drugs the doctor gave me didn't work no more...pregablin and amitriptyline...codeine and paracetamol...so I decided to do some research on internet and found out about calcium and magnesium with vit d...and also one of my Facebook friends said it was good 😊 so I thought to myself whatever how the hell is that gonna cure my pain when I.m on heavy duty stuff that does nothing...But I thought why not give it a try its not like I had nothing to lose..😉 and my m8 said the magnesium wud get rid of my nerve pain and calcium wud help mend my bones and vit d is to make me happy 😊...so I brought some and popped a pill and in a couple hours cud walk a little bit...next day same thing...and on the fourth day all the pain was gone ABSOLUTELY GONE I cud not believe it worked so now I take 3 tablets a day and feel FANTASTIC AND AM IN NOMORE PAIN...YIPPEE 😤 so that,s the cure for syatticer so start taking them soon and u too will be pain free...and that goes for anyone suffering any type of nerve pain...it,s coz u r definition in certain minerals that's why u get ache,s and pains as u get older..and most of them ache,s and pains can be put right with CALCIUM AND MAGNESIUM SO GET TAKING PEOPLE IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE...XXXX☺😍😏💋

[Cynthialcj in reply to spikeypunk]

How many MG of magnesium do you take daily

[LuLu18 in reply to spikeypunk]

My partner has awful syatticer, as well as nerve damage in his right leg and a bad knee (had a knee reconstruction when he was younger) but I will mention about the magnesium, calcium and vit D to him for the syatticer.... hopefully it will help as the medication he's been given for it REALLY isn't!

[loustew2012]

Heat rest and painkillers with small movements helped me. Hope you feel better soon xx

[Lois6090]

Best things for me are Ketoneuro compound cream 3 times a day and TENS unit and lots of iliopsasis stretching. I'm so worn out from nightly pain, but I keep trying.

[Manditts]

Getting into a hydro pool helps me heaps,i do this a couple of days a week.I swear by magnesium,calcium and vitamin D,it all helps.Do whatever makes you feel better. Keep ur chin up 😷
