Re: Sciatica - any suggestions?

[Guest guest]

To answer the Q's in this email:

I wrote how to treat nerves in my last post, so refer to that. I get the

pain relief patches from the Health Food section of our supermarket. They

are great and are made of a certain type of ceramic that puts IR heat into

your muscles.

Love,

Hi /Kathy/ et al, I have a sciatica problem that comes and

goes - may be pseudo sciatica whch means that it is really the piriformis

and psoas getting tight and going into spasm thus pressing the nerve to the

leg. Don't have a reason for that to happen however. May have a gait

analysis done but it may be a disc.

Am presently doing Pilates and think it helps to strengthen the core but I

am not doing it often enough. I need a New Years Resolution in November!

, you say that you need to treat the nerves - HOW? Anyone tried

one of these hanging upside down contraptions to help the discs?

Where do you get the Pain Relief patches? My pain is so deep inside that i

am not sure it would help.

Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

.. PS: the Muscle - EZe I have is by Biogenesis, a different company. I can't

take very much of it or Mg without creating loose stools.

RE: Kathy/ - Back pain- Important Info

I have found various solutions to back pain that are very helpful as I

myself get " neck lock-up " if I do not follow these procedures and can't

even

drive a car when that happens. Here is a list of things to do/take. But

first of all I want to explain that the discs are NOT hard plates. They

are

like sacs of jelly and can be repaired with help of diet.

- There is a product called Hernidisc made from the company Eagle which

helps repair the disc

- I take a high dose magnesium - but one especially for muscles called

" Ultra Muscle-ease " by the company, Bio-Ceuticals. This is brilliant.

One

teaspoon of nice tangy flavoured powder in juice. This has been one of

THE

most helpful things. If I miss my daily dose for a few days, I'm ruined!

- I have recently discovered " Pain Relief Patches " These I think are made

by " Blackmores " . These are probably the most unusual and amazingly simple

thing you will see in medicine. They are " stickers " in all different

sizes.

Apparently inside them is a special type of ceramic that puts IR heat into

your muscle. They last up to 3 days and I have put all my (originally

sceptical) friends onto them. They are true life savers when my neck is

bad

and are so easy - just find exactly where the pain is coming from and

stick

it on!

- Of course you have all your physical therapies such as regular massage,

hot-water bottles, gentle exercise, etc.

The common problem with backs and necks is that it usually stems from the

nerves. The nerves have standing waves of electricity in them, which in

turn causes the muscles to tense up, which in turn pulls the bones

structure

out of place - so you have to treat the nerves, most commonly.

Let me know how you get on!

Kathy:

Do you know what I can take for neurological back pain? I've been taking

Zyflamend, which IS an excellent anti-inflammatory for the muscles. But,

due to multiple back surgeries, my neck is always stiff, and my nerves

spasm

constantly (some of my discs are still herniated, and thus press on the

nerves). I wish I could just take some magic oil to force those discs to

" slide " back into place. BTW, Tea Tree Oil is excellent for muscular back

pain.

ANY suggestions are greatly appreciated.
