Ive been looking for a good supportive mattress that will hopefully alleviate some of my pain while sleeping. I have very bad back probs (had surgery for herniated disk last year but still have pain) and also have sciatica all through right leg. Can anyone please give me a good recommendation for a bed that may help with these problems?

i have sciatica on my left side…i was wondering if there are any at home treatment for this? the pain starts in my upper hip, moves down all the way to my ankle sometimes..thanks! god bless!

I had an adjustment today at the chiropractor which may help with some aching I am having directly in the middle of my buttocks. But I had read this is likely posterior pelvic pain and not sciatica and that I should not do things like stairs.
**So can exercise worsen this condition?
**Can I do the stair master?
**For this condition which would help more, chiropractor or physical therapist?

Basically what up there says ^^ is ‘Sciatica’ a problem in the central or peripheral nervous systems and why?

i read that thrombose hemmerhroids are painful but i dont know if i have this or sciatica. it feels like i have pain shooting from my butt into leg.

I’ve joined the air force, but didn’t tell my recruiter that I have sciatica problems cause I don’t want it to hold me back. I’ve tried acupuncture, steroids, and physical therapy. It’s just gotten worse. I’m 21 and very active. The problem is, I’ve been running getting ready for boot camp but I know that running doesn’t help. How could I get rid of the pain? I just want it to go away.

I am in horrible pain from sciatica. My doctor prescribed my Naproxen and Soma. I know what Naproxen is (aleve), but I don’t have a clue what Soma is. Please elaborate for me. What is Soma? What does it do? Will it help with my sciatica?

I sit down all day and have just started having what most prego books say is sciatica. I’m 28 weeks. It’s not severe, but it is frustrating. I have been standing up periodically to take the pressure off. Do any of you have any tips for relieving the pain since I have to sit down 8 hours a day? Thanks!

My mom has Sciatica and she’s getting surgery on wednesday. But right now, her legs hurts horribly, and she can’t sleep. She’s taking the medication, and it’s been working, but once in a while her leg starts to hurt. Do you know what I can do to at least make the pain not hurt so much?

I have awful sciatica with my pregnancy. I also had it with my first pregnancy and it did go away after delivery. However this time it came on a lot earlier and has been much more severe. I am so worried that my sciatic nerve has been so irritated with both my pregnancies that it will not go "back to normal." does that ever happen? Or will the sciatica for sure go away…gosh I hope so.

I think I have sciatica or a slipped disk…my back and legs are in alot of pain…no money for Dr. right now…anything over the counter work for the pain?

I saw my doctor today and she put me on steroids for a week for the pain. Anyone been through something like this?
Thank you for your answers.
Is this the same thing as sciatica?

53 yr f. has pain on inner left thigh near groin. Feels similar to sciatica. but is not. Had hernia surgery, but hernia was not cause of pain, since after 6 wks pain is worse. Frustrated and my GP is not much help. Not sure who to see next. Please help.

I have been recently diagnosed with Sciatica. I have also had around 6 reccuring Urinary Tract Infections over the past few months. Both of these problems started at around the same time, and I’m wondering if there is any link between the two, as I have found nothing in my research.

Thanks in advance.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and have been suffering from Sciatica for a few weeks. I am also a full time college student and I am a server. Some days it’s so bad I hobble around, and Tylenol does nothing. Did any of you have Sciatica so bad you had to stop working? Or do you have any tips on easing the pain? The two days have been so bad I can’t get relief.
