P-A-I-N-F-U-L!!!!!

Thanks to my lumbar spinal stenosis, I've often had sciatica down BOTH legs! Honestly, I was ready to have a full amputation.

What to do apart from go slowly crazy with the pain?

Hmmm. Heat pads, taking whatever pain meds I can lay my hands on - within reason, in the hope that it'll knock me out and/or help me sleep and strangely, a gentle exercise I was taught by my physio - available online and with an effective version in Pilates or Callanetics also helps to 'stretch out the spine' to ease the pressure on those inflamed nerves.

Thinking of you. I can Really sympathise.

All the best going forward.

Hi there , I have neuropathy down both legs and when my sciatica acts up I suggest using a heating pad and some lidocaine patches which is a prescription its 5mg . That does help along with a good muscle relaxer and a pain reliever . If you have a orthopedic doctor I'm sure he will prescribe what I'm telling you . If you dont then the route I would take is a heating pad ,over the counter lidocaine patches which are 4mg and extra strength tynole and aleve which is a anti inflammatory. That should help take them as directed and dont let that pain escape you keep on top of it with the tynole and aleve. I hope this helps you dear . We all know what pain is maybe this will help you . The biggest thing with sciatica is basically getting the nerves and the muscles from not fighting so to speak .

Best of luck hope this helps God bless and hang in there it will go away eventually . 😊

Stretch, cushions in bed, sit down more frequently, rest! But stretch 😉

Possible investigate using CBD under the tongue, or DimethylSulfoxide ( DMSO ) topically. Could benefit from one sachet of liposomal Altrient Vitamin C daily. Could be three weeks to see any change.
