Sciatica can range from a low pain, to a severe pain in the lower back. It can cause it to be painful to move your arms, legs or even just rolling over in bed can cause terrible pains.
One of the myths associated with sciatica is the need to rest in bed. In fact, mild exercise is one of the best treatments for the pain. Prolonged sitting is a primary cause of many cases of sciatica.
NO. I cannot sit for any length of time nor can I drive. I have severe episodes of sciatica that lands me in bed for weeks at a time. I have had several epidural injections that last for a few months and wear off. I told I am not a candidate for surgery and was would have to live with the pain.
I have taken Cialis 4 times. Twice it was followed by a day or two of sciatica.
Sciatica itself typically does not cause a fever. Sciatica is primarily a symptom of underlying conditions affecting the sciatic nerve, such as a herniated disc or spinal stenosis. If a fever is present, it may indicate an infection or inflammation unrelated to sciatica, and it’s advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation.
Yes. But then the symptoms are bilateral.
Sciatica.
I am not sure exactly what nerves innervate the back, but I would assume that it could definitely refer to the abdomen.
Pinced nerve perhaps or sciatica
Yes, a person can have sciatica in the areas mentioned, however I'm not sure it can cause incontinence.
Are you sure it is sciatica? I had pain in the same area when I was a little older than that, but it is saccroililiac joint (SI) pain, which feels like sciatica. Certain activites would cause an inflamation of that joint and then I would have pain for days or weeks. Anti-inflamatories would work (but it had to be a large dose or prescription). I run long distance and that doesn't bother it, but anything short, with stopping and starting motion that was quick would cause the pain. Hope this helps! _____ I agree in part with the above answer, you may not in fact have sciatica. However, regardless of what the problem is, a visit to a doctor of chiropractic sounds in order. A chiropractor wil be able to determine what the problem is and if it is indeed sciatica or an SI joint problem, will be able to treat you.
can result from poor posture, muscle strain, pregnancy, wearing high heels, or being overweight. A herniated disk in the lumbar spine is the most common cause of sciatica.
