Back Pain Relief, Possibly Sciatic Nerve?
Question by : Back Pain Relief, Possibly Sciatic Nerve?
Ever since I gave birth, my lower back has been killing me ( it's been 6 months now). The left side feels like muscle pain, and the right feels like I pinched my sciatic nerve. What is the best way to get relief from this pain or gradually get rid of it?

I developed a bulging disc between lumbar 4 and 5 by running too much on the jogging trail and developed sciatica down my left leg.
I'll tell you what I did. You'll have to decide what is
applicable in your case.
1) My chiropractor recommended taking daily doses of 100 mg. of Vitamin B6. It strengthens nerve insulation. I noticed an improvement in 4 to 6 weeks.
2) Aleve is a good NSAID medication that is sold over the counter.
The doctor can prescribe a stronger form of the drug in the name Naproxen. The doctor can also prescribe Tramadol which is a narcotic and good pain reliever.
Back ice packs are a good idea also.Usually they can be placed around the waist
area for the best relief.
(They connect with velcro) You can buy them at most pharmacies
-- example at the site below:

3) The lunge exercise is good for sciatic conditions.
An example is at the bottom of this site:

4) I bought the Teeter inversion table. You can invert yourself partially
or completely for spine decompression. It feels great to take the pressure off of the lower lumbar area.
It costs a few hundred but I like it. This is the best bang for the
buck as far as I'm concerned. Your case doesn't seem to be related to a bulging disk, but maybe using this for spine decompression may help.

How can I finally get relief from back pain?
Question by HarryJay: How can I finally get relief from back pain?
I had two spinal operations in recent years and I still have significant pain in my right leg from the original injury. The operations stopped it from getting worse, but didn't really make it better. I've taken all kinds of medications, had electrical stimulation, acupuncture, the works. Any hints?

I don't think your on going pain is still caused from your past surgery! You might have another disc that is bothering you in a different level. You might need another MRI, to see if there are more nerves being compressed.
