I have just developed a medical anomaly called "Sciatica"....

After doing a bit of research, it seems that lots of people,
especially senior citizens, have the same thing...

If anyone here would care to share the method they
have chosen to deal with it, I am sure it would be a topic
that many of the readers here can use.......

Thanks

Been there.

I had a successful surgery about 15 yrs ago for a ruptured disc and a
Stenosis, losing feeling in a foot and loosing a calf muscle. But the
pain was gone.

The pain and numbness returned for brief periods of time since. Mostly
what I have found is to stay in shape, strengthen your core, and most
important, loose weight. Spending all day sitting is also bad for the
back.

good luck......

Thanks Brian,
I've also received some correspondence from another, and
she mentioned that after her bout "cleared up" she has been
taking vitamin B-12, and thinks that may be keeping the
severity of re-occurences down...
I might give that a try ... I couldn't hurt, and B-12 is good for
some other things, too...
I did google the subject, and B-12 is one of the things that
is mentioned for treatment, but there wasn't much said about
it.
Anyway, my first bout is clearing up, and life is returning to
a more normal state. Xrays show nothing is wrong, and the
doctor says a few steroid pills for a short time should fix
me up. We'll see.........

If anyone else has their own story, it would be nice to
post because lots of people have this problem..

I've gotten relief at the chiropractor. Had it several years ago - one
treatment - has been gone except for a very mild spell for a week or so
recently since then. My treatment was covered by Medicare. Treatment was
painless.

Ken, what did the chiropractor do ? Some type of massage or
adjustments ? I really don't know anything at all about that
discipline.
Thanks

Been a long time. As I recall just pushing on various portions of my
back at different angles. Adjustments I guess. This probably varies, but
he has a sort of almost vertical padded 'examination table' that you
lean on for the treatment. I forget if he straps you on. I think not -
it likely has handles you hold.

I suspect these treatments vary from one chiro to another.
