I'm having sciatica - I think... It's been going on for a few months. What do you do to treat it or get some relief.
Does it eventually go away?
I was reading about Vax-D - I think I may be able to do some things to relieve the pain with a Piladies roll (spelling?) that may be similar. I've never really got alot of help from going to chiropractors in the past.
I don't know if it's Lyme related or if that an issue with me. I figured people here would have some info about it in any case.

Your efforts should be directed toward removing the toxic substances, mainly from your central nervous system. I have been posting about it for 12 years. That will "Does it eventually go away?" do it. But it takes sticking to it and avoids the shifting of symptoms to other places.
Think rub-in cilantro starting with single drop, think curcumin in a self-made dermal form. If pain in lower body region, rub in a drop organic cilantro tincture into area or ankles; for upper body problems, rub it into wrists. Go very slowly and realize even rubbing it in with hands will absorb some. Help circulation with all means. All heavy metals move toward lower body - gravity and activities. Where metals are, pathogens accumulate. Get tested by someone who does EAV or similar testing to pin it down.
The good thing is that most agents will address both toxins and pathogens. Use the toxin or remedy frequencies near the area and pendle or tensor aka as Direct Resonance Testing (Yoshiaki Omura, MD) It will give you some answers.
With some of your activity toward parasites, lead is being released from bones, and unless you support that release with microsilica or similar, the stuff keeps moving and circulating/redepositing. Pay attention to the consequences of what you have been treating. There is always some fallout involved. That's what I learned over the years.
Good luck.

start with strengthening abs with crunches or pelvic tilts
dont do if it hurts
or...lie on floor in front of couch and put your legs up on couch so there is a right angle at your knees...just hang out and see if it helps. its called constructive rest.

Thanks GiGi. I will look into your suggestions. I still have 2 silver/mercury fillings left. I had a few tests for mercury & they were all low - to my surprise. I used to do casting in metals (sculpture) so I would think I have metal toxicity... Maybe it's something other than mercury?
I have had back problems since I was 18 - so, It's been a life long issue...
I'm also dealing with some kind of fungi or yeast - so, the babuska princle does make alot of sense!
Thanks jlp - I've been to chiropractors many times in my life & they never seemed to help much.

Depends upon how bad it is. I've had trouble with it for about 10 yrs. Sometimes it is excruciating.
I found some relief by doing an exercise machine that is like a bike, but your feet are more out in front of you than below you. Helped!
Do anything you can for inflammation, like curcumin.
Now that I have a bulging disc, I've been doing spinal decompression therapy. That really helps. My chiro has a machine.
hope you find an answer for you

Quote: There is a significant amount of research showing that lowering TNF-alpha levels is the key to treating sciatica.
There is a focus on using pharmacological agents that are injected to decrease TNF-alpha. Unfortunately those injections carry � what the manufacturer calls �serious (sometimes fatal) side effects�.
There is no doubt that decreasing TNF-alpha will fix sciatica. It is also obvious that Wobenzym� is a safe and effective way of accomplishing that goal.
p.s. The systemic enzymes in Wobenzym reduce inflammation, which eases the sciatica. I have significantly less muscle and joint pain since I've been taking it. Other enzyme blends may work fine for you.

Sparkle, in my experience and learning, it's never just mercury; usually there are different metals that are hanging on together that will show up at various times. There is no heavy metals test that is conclusive - same as Lyme. With neuro symptoms, metals are usually part of the complex. If you are delaying treatment, you are postponing all else. Healing cannot take place with metals contaminating the body, because they stop the effectiveness of hormones and a whole host of others that keeps or gets us well.
Fungi follows the metals. The body produces fungi in order to protect itself from the devastation of the metals. Metals block the hormone producing cells. The research is all hiding in the drawers - for obvious reasons. It's been like that for many years. The tactic obviously works very well, because people suffer pain and don't believe the truth.
Sure you can to a chiro; sure you can take pain killers and antiinflammatories; but that is only a temporary bandaid. Only by removing the cause, the toxic burden, can the body start to heal.
It all can now be treated together - bugs, metals, and all. I would suggest reading some of the writings and protocols from doctors that are doing it that way. I have posted a bunch of them. You can pick out what fits your budget and needs and work your way into it slowly. If you start doing physical movements now, while you are stuck with a load of it obviously in your CNS, you are only causing more problems. Lower the burden with adequate minerals (paying attention to possible KPU - a problem for 80%) www.hputest.de) and microsilica. If you can't afford microsilica, which I think is the best, or make sure you get plenty silica 6x or 12x. This is the stuff that we used to absorb in feet and hands when we were still getting our hands dirty from the earth!
Take care.

The only care that works for me every time re sciatica is going to a really good chiropractor who's good at recognizing all lower body imbalances and who can fix them.
Mine knows how to do leg and pelvic imbalance testing and do the correct adjustments.
I can't say it's a cure-all because I am a constant chiro patient, but at least I know where to go to get out of pain.

Thanks for all the great info!
I was looking into Vax-D which is like the decompression that Lymetoo mentioned. I know someone who said it helped. I just get the feeling that doing some of the Piladies exercises with the roll & ball can do decompression, as well, but I might be wrong.
GiGi - thank you for posting all the info that you do - especially Dr. K's theores & protocols. I could never be able to go to the West Coast to see him. Money is tight & I don't know how I'd be able to stay out there in Washington or Oregon.
I have a bunch of tooth issues I have to deal with. I would have done it but it's expensive. Also, I was in the south & the dentists there are like from another era... I don't want to do everything all at once - so, it takes time.
I'm working on it. I think your assessment is right on target. I have done a brief looking over of the KPU situation. I don't think I have it based on the symptoms but I could be wrong. I'll have to keep going over all of this to sort it out. It's complicated stuff & I'm doing it mostly on my own.
I hae to sit down & write it out so I can learn it better. I have to give it thought...
Thanks again everyone! Keep posting...

My "sciatica" is Lyme-related wandering joint pain.
What helps me: Hot packs (heating pad, etc.), homeopathic Causticum, regular exercise (stuff that works the hips/back/abdomen/legs - pelvic tilts, leg lifts, etc.), Nettles, and of course treating the Lyme itself...

From my doc : 800 mg ( 4 capsules ) ibuprofen for inflammation. Also : bromelain is great for inflammation and helps me . The pain decreases when the inflammation is diminished .
I have it periodically due to a disc, it can be caused by different things . I also had severe episodes when pregnant , due to spinal pressure of the fat little babies I carried.
My doc said to start heavy with ibuprofen , then be CAREFul to let the injury heal before exherting again.
