What are the secrets, best postures and exercises to relieve the pain of sciatica and herniated disc?
Symptoms of inflammation of the sciatic nerve are: low back pain crisis to the right or left (in the back), pain or numbness in the back of the thigh, leg and sole of the foot, and there may be pain or tingling in the toes on the same side. Only one leg may be affected, or both together.
Sciatic nerve pain can last for 6 weeks. If it lasts longer than that, you may need surgery or have another disease.
The best way to detect that it is true sciatica caused by a herniated disc is to lie on your back and raise your leg outstretched. If this maneuver causes you pain, you may have a herniated disc compressing the sciatic nerve.
The difference between sciatica and "false sciatica" is that the latter is not caused by a herniated disc, but by a contracture or spasm of the piriformis muscle. This is called "piriformis syndrome" and the treatment is different.
Warning symptoms that indicate a more serious sciatica are: very intense pain, not being able to walk, not being able to lift the tip of the foot, having urinary or fecal incontinence. If you have this, you should seek urgent medical attention.
Other causes of low back pain can be: problems in your internal organs, intestine, uterus, prostate, or pancreatic cancer and aortic aneurysm.
The best treatment for sciatic nerve pain is anti-inflammatory remedies such as ibuprofen, or pain relievers such as paracetamol. Corticosteroid injections are sometimes necessary.
What to do when sciatica hurts?
You should not rest completely, it is recommended to walk with short steps. You should not spend a lot of time sitting or lying down. Do stretching exercises.
Two of the best pain relief exercises are "Knee to Chest" and "Cobra Pose."
As alternative therapies, acupuncture, yoga, and osteopathy are recommended.
