Guest guest Posted August 10, 2003 Report Share Posted August 10, 2003 Hi Bonnie, I have had PLS for 10 years. I get severe bouts of extreme sciatic every once in a while. All the doctors wanted to do for me was give me pain medicine. It doesn't help, it makes me sleepy and I already take so much med's that I don't really want to take more. Then I decided to take matters into my own hands I tried a Chiropractor with no results and then I began to see a massage therapist. She did more for me in one session than the doctors did for over 2 years. I went to a women who does Cranial Sacral Therapy, Asian Style Therapies, (Shiatsu etc), as well as regular Swedish massage therapy. She varies what she does based on what I need at the time. I now go twice a month and I feel wonderful. In between if my back/hip starts to hurt, I put heat on it then use a massage machine that I bought myself. It loosens the muscles around the nerves and relieves the pain. Try it. It may take a few sessions to fully relieves the pain, but for me it was the answer.
