I have the horrible pain from a pinched nerve in my back. It’s in my lower back and shoots down to my leg. I can’t find anything to help it either. Please help! Thanks.
A wearm bath should help. Keep moving and hopefully your nerve will become untrapped.
I’m 31 and have suffered from lower back pain for 5 years. I always thought it was a muscle, but 6 weeks ago muscle relaxers and pain killers did not help. I had an MRI done and showed a herniated disc in L4-L5. My pain is mainly in my lower back some numbness down my left leg. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
your physician should’ve recieved the results, and he probably asked if you wanted to do the back surgery.
It’s typical for you to get the surgery in this case.
Every morning I am wake to my hand being numb and a throbbing pain in my thumb. I believe I have a pinched nerve and have read suggestions on treating it such as heat and stretching the nerve and muscle. But how do I know where exactly to apply heat and to stretch? I do not believe the nerve that is pinched is in my thumb / hand. This has been going on for at least 2 months and is driving me crazy.
most likely median nerve compressed at the wrist by the way you hold it against your body while sleeping. see a physical therapist or chiropractor.
I’ve been going to a chiropractor for 9 weeks now, going twice a week. I started out with severe neck and shoulder pain. The pain has decreased drastically, but still have some pain. My mid back is extremely tight and not adjusting when I go. My dr. says neck and shoulder pain take longer to fix, but how long will I continue to have pain?
Ooops, I just read that says 9 weeks, I meant to type 3 weeks.
I’ve worked in the chiropractic field for 10+ years.
You should ask him if he’s in favor of placing a hot pack on your mid back for 10+ minutes before he adjusts you. This will help relax your mid back muscles and he should be able to get some movement.
As for how long it will take to "fix" – each patient is different as is each injury. But be prepared to continue with a "maintenance program" even after the pain goes away. Most Chiropractors like to keep you under their care for a minimum of 12 months.
I wish you a speedy recovery soon!
Chiropractic, physical therapy, law I dont know what would be more worth it….Im the average joe so would chiropractic be something i can manage or not?
Chiroquackery School is not hard at all. The entrance standards are FAR lower than for Medical Schools or one of the other ethical medical professions.
The question is—why would you want to go ? Chiropractors are taught superstitious mumbo-jumbo that’s just not true. (They think blockages in the spine cause all disease). Chiropractors have such poor understanding of science that they’re constantly embarrassing themselves with worthless gizmos that they foist on their patients—for example magnets that they wave up and down the spine to get rid of "imbalances". The point of chiropractic practices is to hook patients into as many bogus and expensive "preventative" spinal sessions as possible. Chiropractors have a MAJOR problem with ethics. And now I hear very few chiropractors make decent money.
If you want to do spinal manipulation in a more or less ethical manner, think about attending a School of Osteopathy.
See the website below to understand what chiroquackery is all about.
I’ve looked in a dozen sites and can’t find any good tips on how to lose the excess baby weight with sciatica. I can’t do pushups, crunches, or sit ups. I HAVE talked to a doctor, and she didn’t suggest anything. I had my baby 3 months ago and also got the approval to work out. Any advice will be appreciated! Thanks!
1. Eat more fiber – Fiber is great for many reasons. It helps fill you up without all the excess calories you don’t need. It also helps foods move through your bowels easily and faster, which can lead to weight loss.
My partner and I have tried to concieve, and in the last couple days she has had some minor lower back pain and pain in the area of her Uterus. She is not due for a period for quite some time, but it seems too soon. It hasn’t even been a week yet since intercourse. Could this be a sign of conception?
may be a sign…better let her take a test. u can determine pregnancy after 10 days from sex
My son is 4 months old, and I still have horrible back pain at times. Most of the time it’s a dull ache across my whole lower back, but at other times, it locks up completely and I can barely move.
Is this normal, and if so, when can I expect it to go away?
I did have an epidural, about 5 monutes before they decided to do a c-section, so it was really pointless. The pain is not in the same spot that they put the needle in.
I have the same pain and my son is only 7 weeks so i don’t know when it will end. my doctor gave me motrin 800mg for it, when it gets so bad its unbearable.
