My main symptom is sciatic nerve pain, especially when I sit down or stand for long periods. That’s partly due to genetics but also due to an increased risk of stress as a result of work and travel. When my sciatic nerve is inflamed, I get a dull ache in my hip.
The good news for sciatic nerve pain sufferers is that we have a new treatment. As with other treatments, such as those for cancer and gout, stem cell therapy is known to help reduce pain.
We have a new treatment for sciatic nerve pain, as well as an injection to put under the skin that may help reduce pain, but that’s only for a test. I am waiting for my doctor to give me a full clinical trial for the new treatment before I can get it.
And the good news is that we may soon have another treatment that will help reduce pain as well. In a study of 7,700 patients being treated with stem cell therapy for sciatica, researchers found that people who received the treatment reported a significantly lower level of pain. The study, which was published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology, is important for two reasons.
First, it shows that stem cell therapy is safe enough for us to start using it in our own personal lives. I’ll admit, it’s a little scary that stem cell therapy could be used to treat us and not us. But if it works in our bodies, it can help us when we feel pain or other types of debilitating conditions.
But the study also shows a significant improvement in the level of pain when we got ice or heat treatments. This is not a huge surprise, given that ice and heat are the very thing that we use to treat sciatica in a lot of ways. Sciatica is a pretty common condition that can include a lot of different symptoms. But some sciatica treatments involve heating up the area and getting rid of the pain.
Ice and heat are the big ones, but there are other, more practical methods as well. A person might heat up to a temperature of at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit. This would temporarily relieve the pain. You might use an ice pack to temporarily relieve pain, but a person might use heat to relieve pain from a condition like sciatica.
A cold shower, a hot shower, or a hot bath are methods that can help prevent the problem from occurring.
One thing that’s worth noting is that there is a big difference between heat and cold. The heat is always hot, whereas the cold is always cold. This means that your pain could be caused by an ice pack, a hot shower, a cold shower, or a hot bath.
I’m not going to deny that cold showers and cold baths help, but they can also be dangerous. People who suffer from sciatica can often develop heat back, or in extreme cases, a fever. When a person is at risk for a fever, he should call 911. It is a serious condition, so the first thing a person should do is go to the emergency room.
