Tingling from sciatica?!


Question: Tingling from sciatica!?
My sciatica has been getting progressively worse with each day!. Last friday I had a little tingling in my ring finger and my pinky finger before I had a colonoscopy I thought it was just nerves but the next day I woke up with the most excrutiating lower back pain I have had to date!. I am only 22 and have had a bad back all my life and was told by my doctor I have sciatica!. I know it is only a symptom of something else, and the cause can be unknown!.

I've always had the same sharp pain in my back and it's painful to bend, move, laugh, cough, sneeze, etc!. It's been years since I've had a flare up!. But this time I can't sit for more than a few minutes, so I'm constantly trying to get up and walk!. Then the pain has traveled into my thighs!. Now also the tingling is getting worse!. it started in my hands now it's in my arms, feet, and legs!. I can't stand or sit for more than a few minutes in the same position or else the tingling starts and my hands, arms, legs, or feet will fall asleep! The tingling is driving me crazy!

I tried Skelaxin and although it helped the side effects were even worse!.

What can I do besides some lower back stretches and a heating pad!?!?!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Sciatica affects the sciatic nerve, which begins in the pelvic area!. This would not cause tingling in your hand or lower back pain!. Whatever is causing the back pain is probably causing the sciatica, which is causing the leg pain in your thighs!. See a neurologist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ask your doctor for narcotics!. I'm not joking either!. Vicodin will do the trickWww@Answer-Health@Com
