Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Kathy, Yes, I have had sciatica on more than one occasion and feel bad for you. It is so painful. Nothing touches the pain. Traction by a physical therapist gave my husband great relief. Since the cause is a pinched nerve in the spine, the traction took the pressure off the nerve. When my husband had epiduarals, they put him to sleep so it wasn¹t painful. It was done by A pain management doctor. Maybe that is an option you can explore. Hope you feel better soon. Here is some reading on sciatica: What you need to know about sciatica http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/d_sciatica/sc01.html Sciatica Clinic http://www.sciaticaclinic.com/ AAOS http://orthoinfo.aaos.org/fact/thr_report.cfm?Thread_ID=167 & topcategory=Spin e Hope it helps. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
