Does anyone know any home remedies for sciatic nerve pain?
for most people the sciatic nerve acts up more w/ age. for most people after 35. well i'm only 19 and i've been having this problem for 5 years now. if tried the antiinflamatories, the massages, the heat patches, and just not moving. nothing has really worked so far. most of the time it acts up when i sit or stand for a long time and it's mostly on my left side, sometimes on my right, and very rarely both. does anyone have any suggestions?
Answers:
I use castor oil packs. It sounds odd, but it is effective. Just soak a washcloth with castor oil (you can get at a pharmacy), and heat it in the microwave as hot as you can stand it. Lay flat on your stomach with the castor oil cloth over the sacral area, and let i stay there until it gets cold. I have had to repeat this process 3 or 4 times, but it has helped me. It's very uncomfortable, and I hope this works for you!
