I have to take pain medicine.I take morphine extended-release Lortab to break through pain.
I also suffered an attack of sciatica and I can understand. Here's how I dealt with and healed. First, we must know that sciatica is caused by a disc of the lumbar vertebrae and herniated puts pressure on the L4 and / or L5 nerve roots, which are the sciatic nerves down each leg.
The pressure must be relieved of sciatica to be healed. First, you need a surgeon to assess orthopadic you to determine the cause of your sciatica. Was it an injury, spinal degeneration due to age or Disasi, osteoporosis bone cancer? Using X-rays, MRI, electromyleogram, and nerve conduction studies, the doc you diagnois and recommend treatment.
Treatment starts with physical therapy for at least two weeks duration. You will also be given painkillers. If several sessions of PT does not relieve your pain, you can provide surgical options. Most docs use microsurgery to repair the disks, including the merger of disk. Fortunately, PT, home exercise, lose weight, and walking cured my sciatica.
Painkillers?
Have you tried physical therapy? You should also try massage. A good masseuse can tell you if your spine is out of alignment and help to manipulate the muscles. You may have arthritis of the spine. Ask your doc for radiography to determine the cause. I had mine injected with cortisone and it helped tremendously. Of course, it was done by a specialist spine. Sleeping with a pillow between your knees to keep your back straight. really helps. Use anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, aspirin, etc., with food) and ice in the region. Good luck!
