1. See an osteopath to check for and sort any posture or body alignment issues.

2. Start supplementing with magnesium glycinate.

Magnesium is an essential mineral required by our bodies for over 300 different processes but especially for muscle relaxation and proper nerve function. Many of us don't get anywhere near the amount we need through diet anymore due to modern farming methods depleting the magnesium in the soil. There are many different types of Magnesium, the most common being magnesium oxide. This is what is in many supplements you can buy from the store because it's cheap. Unfortunately it has an extremely low bioavailability which means only about 10% of what you take gets absorbed into the body. This in turn creates a laxative effect.

Now, as for magnesium GLYCINATE, that's a different story. The glycine molecule transports the magnesium straight through the intestinal wall giving one of the highest bioavailabilities of all types of magnesium and it has no laxative effect whatsoever. The added bonus for us chronic pain sufferers is that the glycine also helps to calm and regulate the central nervous system so helps with anxiety and stress related guarding (muscle tightening) it also helps to calm the nerve pain by reducing the amplified pain signals from the irritated nerves around the tight muscles.

Start on 300mg a day split throughout the day then after a week go up to 400mg a day then 500mg the week after and so on.

I capped my daily dose at 600mg a day, again, split up in at least 4 doses throughout the day

(my capsules are 100mg each)

2 when I get up

1 mid morning

1 mid afternoon

2 before bed

Most of my pain and discomfort went right down after a few weeks!

You can get it from Amazon. Good brands are:

Solaray (this seems to be the most popular as it is good quality and a great price)

Pure Encapsulations

Your Supplements.

KAL gel caps

3. Start doing deep diaphragm breathing. Try to do at least 10 minutes per day or whenever you feel stressed or anxious.

Good luck! :)

Mitigation: First check whether calcium supplements have been made recently and whether adequate calcium intake is guaranteed every day.

1. Relieving method of sciatica: Correcting daily sitting and walking posture and doing yoga stretching exercises can relieve the pain of sciatica.

2. Coccygeal pain relief measures: hot compress with a warm water bag, or take a hot bath will be somewhat relieved.

3. Sacroiliac joint pain relief methods: Suggest wearing comfortable low-heeled shoes, pay attention to the correct walking posture, walking up leg, will be alleviated.

Reseach shows that one third of prostatic patients have pelvic pain, while female pelvic pain is mostly related to pelvic inflammation, it is a chronic inflammation. diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, relieve inflammation and pain, and enhance immunity.
