SCIATICA - THE MOST DREADFUL PAIN, WORRY ABOUT BACK SURGERY IS MY THING, I WANT TO BE NORMAL AGAIN. WHAT CAN I DO TO PREPARE MYSELF FOR SUCH UNKNOWN SURGERY TO COME. I HAD A MRI AND SLEPT THROUGH IT AND DONT KNOW THE OUTCOME OF IT YET. OOOOOH! THE PAIN IT HURTS LIKE CRAZY, TRYING MY BEST TO STAY CHEERFUL EVERY DAY, BUT! I DONT KNOW JUST NEED SOME SENSE TALKED INTO MY HEAD. IF A PERSON CAN GET THROUGH TO ME YOU GOT IT GOOD.
Answers:
Ibuprofen to reduce swelling; and sitting on ice packs. The swelling needs to be reduced to let the nerve go. Worked for me. It was terrible, terrible pain for months. Then when I started continuously sitting on two or three frozen gel packs along my back, buttocks, hip, and leg...that is what made the difference. I had two more bouts of it and now don't get it at all. You must be diligent about the ice, off and on around the clock for a few days. I even lined up the ice packs in my bed when I went to sleep.
