I am having a lot of sciatica pain. Without going into detail I had surgery for a disc problem 6 years ago. I don’t want to go that route again. It’s very costly and really I think made me have more problems now than if I went another way.
I am starting a new job in a week and will be sitting down a lot. I need to control the sciatica pain. What would you do first? I am planning on seeing a doctor but seriously can’t afford going through physical therapy and the whole nine yards right now.

it was really werid.
today was my first day of physical therapy
and i was puting pressure on my leg for the first time..
i broke 3 bones

1 in my leg
and i had to have surgery and they put screws in my ancles and plates and screws in my leg.
but is it normal to feel the sharp pain of the screws after the first time putting pressure on it?
my leg is also very small haha.

Hi! I’m in physical therapy for a back injury. I’ve had 4 courses of physical therapy before this, but it’s always just been working out and then a TENS unit; this time I’m having deep tissue massage and ultrasound, which is essentially just heat, so when my doctor knows that heat makes me feel 10X worse, I don’t know why he wrote a prescription for that. I have brachial plexus neuralgia too, so this pain is now radiating down my arms and I have no strength (can’t lift my arms more than an inch off my sides)… and before I got that done yesterday, I could move them a good 6-8 inches. I also have a pounding headache and I’m typing w/ one finger right now because I can’t move my hands.
I’m allergic to a LOT of medications, but what I have at home that I’m not allergic to is: Zanaflex 8mg (a muscle relaxer for spinal cord injuries), Darvocet (mild narcotic), and then plain old Motrin. Which would be most effective for the type of problems I’m having? Thank you!
