Does anyone have any helpful tips. To help with Sciatica Symptoms. Had 20 years of long term Lower Disc problems. Fibromyalgia Diagnosed 8 Years Ago. On Butrans Morphine. Try other Herbal Medicines. Can't Take Any Other Stronger Pain Relief. Just Feels like Left Side plugged into Electricity. ( Sorry my explanation but Feels like this) Appreciate Any ideas . 😒😀

sometimes while lying i find it help reduce pressure on lower discs if i pull my knees up so i am in the foetal position. it helps sometimes but not always .other times forcing myself to move and stretch can help. hopefully some one here may have better tips. best wishes.

I like to put a pillow under my knees. I also have a body pillow I use. Have you tried a Tens or Ems unit? Heating pad is a must for me!

I use a TENS Machine as I have a compressed Sciatic nerve which really is painful at times. I also do gentle exercises for my sciatic nerve area. I want to genuinely and sincerely wish you all the best of luck.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Gentle Yoga stretches can be helpful, also massage. I visit a chiropractor too, which helps my lower back. It might be too strong for you if you have lots of spinal damage. Best wishes MariLiz

I try combinations of all of the above apart from the chiropractor, I would have tried the chiropractor but had been told by my doctor because of other problems in my back it could be too harsh a treatment for me but a friend swears by it. It is a horrible feeling and you think that if you could just strerch something or move in a certain way you could untrap the nerve which is causing the problem. I think for me the physio exercises do help if I persevere but often seems to make it more acute before it eases that is why I mentioned the perseverance bit.

Do hope it eases soon for you.x
