Glad to hear you finally found out the cause of his pain. I wish your son well in his recovery.

Sorry to hear about your son’s experience with Sciatica. I’ve actually never heard of kids that age being affected by it. And yes, I agree that Vicadin is definitely not the ideal answer to his problem.
He is at the age that most boys start to grow, so this may be a form of growing pains that he is going through. But I think it is best to take him to a doctor to make sure that it is in fact Sciatica that he has.

It will be interesting to see what the doc says.

Have you come across many kids his age that have sciatic pain?

thanks

I’m sorry to hear about your terrible experience with Sciatica.

It sounds like Sciatica exercises do not seem to be helping, and medication (which is my least favorite option) is no longer helping numb the pain. One alternative I have in mind is to consider having a look at Treat Sciatica Now – which contains a number of alternative methods to help get you cured, without having to go through anymore physical therapy or exercises. You’ll notice I’ve written a whole review on it.

Otherwise, perhaps it is no longer Sciatica that is the route cause of your pain. And maybe it is time to revisit the doctor to ensure that you do still have Sciatica, and that it is not some other back or nerve condition.

Sorry if I could not be of more help, but I hope you find lasting relief soon.

Since the stretching exercises appear to be no longer effective in reducing my pain, what is the next step to getting this Sciatica under control. I haven’t found an OTC medication that does anything to relieve the pain I am experiencing. Even Darvocet and Tylenol/w codeine are ineffective for how much this hurts.

Sounds like you went through quite a process to find out that you had Sciatica. But I’m glad that you were eventually able to find the cause of your pain.

Yes, this condition is awful to live with, which is why I started this site in the first place. Any program or book that I mention is one that has been tried and tested, which is why you’ll often see me talk about Treat Sciatica Now. This is not my own book, but one which has helped many people in getting natural relief from Sciatica, especially when exercises or physical therapy are too painful to endure.

What’s nice about any of the books/programs I talk about is that they have a 2 month money-back guarantee. So if you find that they do not live up to your expectations, you can get a refund. Plain and simple.

I hope that settles your nerves, and realize this is by no means “a get rich quick” scam.

Best of luck in relieving your Sciatica. I’ll be thinking of you.

Then started the pain after relaxing that evening. It was the most excrutiating pain I have ever felt. I went to my doctor first thing the next morning, and he immediately sent me for an ultra sound thinking it might have been a blood clot. After ruling that out, he took x-rays and was not able to see anything. He finally gave me a shot of morphine and it didn’t phase my pain. He sent me immediately to the hospital where they diagnosed me as having sciatica and prescriped medication.

Two days later I followed up with my doctor and he referred me to an orthapedic specialist, chiropractor and also to have an MRI. Unfortunately, my insurance deductable would have been $2000.00 to get the MRI and I couldn’t afford that so I opted out of that and saw the orthapedic specialist and also went to the chiropractor. The orthopedic doctor instructed me to go for physical therapy. I have been once, and haven’t noticed anything different.

I have been to the chiropractor 7-8 times and haven’t noticed anything (mind you having to pay $35.00 deductibles each time to see these doctors). I am on hydrocodone/acetametaphine and also aleve and that tends to help with the pain, but I can definitely tell when it starts to wear off it is like extreme fire crackers going down my leg and exploding in my toes and my foot and leg are still numb. I was out of work for a week and then returned last week, but I can’t walk very well. It’s almost like drop foot because I have had to adjust my walking habits because of not being able to feel my muscles in my leg and toes to walk properly.

My physical therapist has instructed me to stop going to the chiropractor, and also said it could possibly be a pinched nerve or herniated disk (saying that sciatica is the umbrella and the pinched nerve or herniated disk would be more of an acute diagnosis) and I don’t know what to do to cure it. I can’t go on living my life the way it is, in pain and unhappy.

I came across your book treat sciatica now and am really interested in purchasing it. I am very weary of the “get rich quick” scams and wondered if your book could even help me. Does your book fix most of these problems? I am open to anything and if you think it would help, I am more than willing to purchase the book. Thanks for your help!

Sorry to hear about your sciatica. Yes, Advil is simply a pain-killer, not a solution. Good luck with your recovery and I hope you are back in full action soon.

Glad my site could be of assistance,

Jerry
