I was recently diagnosed with sciatica, an injury to the sciatic nerve in the lower spine. It is a chronic pain that can get pretty bad. I’ve been managing it with various medications and have been very pleased with how it has responded. There is one particular medication that worked for me. It’s called Sinequan, which is used to treat the pain and inflammation that occurs when you have sciatica.
Ive tried ice but it seems to make my sciatica worse so I dont use it.
Ive tried both ice and heat which seemed to help a little. Ive also tried a couple of different pills. Ive always been a fan of herbal remedies so I decided to keep a bottle of ginseng root in my office. I have made a couple of different ginseng tea infusions, I think this is the one that works best.
Ive found that one of the best ways to relieve sciatica pain is to make a tea or infusion. By making your own tea you can control the ingredients and dilution, and by diluting it down to 1/2 cup or less, you have complete control. But the herbs I use are usually all natural and there is no added sugar. Gather some dried herbs of your choice and mix them together.
Ice and heat can be used simultaneously to relieve sciatica pain. If your pain has returned after you’ve taken a cold shower, add a small amount of ice in the shower. When you’ve finished, you can take the ice and heat in combination with hot and/or cold drinks. Just use ice directly onto your sciatica and be careful not to cause a new cut to form.
Ice and heat are used in a similar way to cold showers. As in, soak the affected area in ice or heat, then let the ice or heat freeze the area, and repeat. This is best done with hot or cold drinks.
If you’re having trouble with sciatica and you are not able to get ice or heat in some other way, then take a warm bath instead. It’s also not that difficult to do and there are a LOT of bath products that are designed for this purpose.
Sciatica is the pain caused by a herniated or bulging disc in the spine. It can also come from a muscle tear or a nerve compression, but it can also happen without any of those. The pain can radiate across the entire body and can feel like someone is pulling your leg in a strange direction. The main treatment for sciatica consists of ice packs and heat.
Ice is a very common treatment for sciatica, but it isn’t a cure, so you should avoid taking it. Ice, like other over-the-counter drugs, causes the body to release a chemical that blocks pain receptors. However, these pain receptors aren’t the main issue, so even if you do take ice it just won’t be nearly as effective as you’d think.
Ice is a really good thing to have on hand right now, but it doesnt cure sciatica. Instead, taking ice is a great way to avoid the worst of the pain. The best, and most effective, way to treat sciatica is to stop the pain and release the nerve pain that causes it. If your pain is too much for you to handle, then a mild pain reliever may be helpful, such as Advil or Motrin.
