hi, i have been suffering with sciatic nerve damage for about 4 or 5yrs now (it all runs into one long painful year) i've tried every pill my doctor as given me and i'm sick of them all!! So could anyone please give me any help on pain relief that helps pref natural as i have PTSD from my time in the forces. I live in a cold country so that doesn't help but there must be something out there???Thank you. Shane

Hi Shane,
How did you get sciatic nerve damage ?? I have sciatic nerve damage from hip surgery Its been five years since my hip revision . I also have tried everything pill no relief So i went to neurosurgeon to see if he could help me in any way he said since the nerve was damaged from the hip surgery , and has not repaired in 5 yrs that there nothing he could do . he did mention stimulator that you can have implanted but the reviews I read were not good . You might want to look into seeing neurosurgeon he or she might give you some options . Let us know how your doing

Take care
Jackie

Hi Shane,

Sorry to hear about your never ending sciatic pain. I’ve had sciatica since this April and it’s starting to go away thank God. I only have one kidney so I’m not allowed to take prescription medication. All I do is natural herbal supplements. It helps but does not entirely mask the pain. My Saving Grace for pain was prayer & acupuncture. I also got an MRI, saw a chiropractor, and physical therapist. I walk as much as I can and drink a lot of water. I hope the list below helps.

hello geniebo,
unfortunately if your sciatic nerve is

damaged there’s nothing they can do surgery will not help. I have had 2 opinions . chronic pain is horrible but positive attitude and diet help. I have been dealing with this pain going on 5 yrs my nerve damage is from hip surgery.

hello Candace,
In my case my sciatic nerve damage is permanent. I had neurosurgeon tell me he takes more out then his patients keep in. everybody is different I glad the stimulator working out for you, I just didn’t want anymore problems.
take care let us know how your doing
