SCIATICA - SCIATIC NERVE PAIN
SCIATICA - SCIATIC NERVE PAIN
Note: This subject is not in Dr. Jacob's book. I just give here my experience taking care of this condition without drugs.
Sciatica or sciatic nerve pain refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from the middle of your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down the back of each leg. Typically, the pain affects only one side of the body.
It usually happens because part of the nerve is compressed, this causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected thigh, leg, and foot. It may feel like electric shocks or continuous burning.
It may also be related to extended sitting at home or at work which compresses the nerve. Try to make changes in your sitting or standing habits but more importantly, change posture often and exercise during the day.
However, if you invest only $20 in MSM therapeutic massaging gel and massage deeply the lower back, the back of the thigh and calve of the affected leg, you may be able to find which area the pain is concentrated at. Doing it several times a day may bring unbelievable and total pain relief by eliminating the inflammation. And do not forget to exercise to keep all your muscles flexible and in their normal state.
If you cannot alleviate the pain completely with the MSM therapeutic massaging gel, I would recommend you get a deep tissue massage. If you have not already identified the exact affected area, the massage therapist will be able to identify more precisely the area of the inflammation. Usually, one massage and the continuous use of the MSM therapeutic massaging gel afterward will fix the problem in a few days.
When this happens to me, I massage deeply the lower back, the back of the thigh and calve of the affected leg with the MSM massaging gel. I also do a few exercises to keep all the muscles flexible and in their normal state.
Notice: Every time you use the MSM therapeutic topical gel, make sure your hands and the massaged area are clean because the MSM penetrates the skin, and one does not want to infect the skin with dirt. Also make sure that you rub the MSM gel in until your hands and the massaged area are completely dry to avoid the MSM crystals staying on top of your skin when the gel’s water evaporates. The demineralized water-based gel contains 15% MSM, which is the maximum to avoid crystallization. So, to prevent the MSM from crystallizing in the MSM gel bottle, do not forget to close the MSM gel bottle lid after use.
