Re: Re: Sciatica Anyone?/ Cheryl in AZ

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl,

I had to go back to the ER again today because I was beding over to pick

something up, yes my knees were bent as best I could, and aggrivated that nerve

more. The ER doctor tonight told me that I will need to get an MRI and it is

something I will bring up with my primary doctor at my appointment on Monday.

I know that I iddn't break any bones in my spine or pelvis region because the

ER did X-rays, but the ER doctor tonight told me that I could have done other

damage. I don't think I hurt my lower back in the fall because that doesn't

even hurt, but you never know. I just finished physical therapy on my lower

back from a previous injury there. I am having pain in the center of my back

though. All of which will be brought up to my primary doctor! :-)

Love,

Becky in SD

I'm so sorry to hear you have fallen and have more pain as a result!

However, " sciatica " is just a description of a symptom, it is NOT a

diagnosis. Sciatic pain can be caused by lots of different types of

damage, and until you have an actual diagnosis, you shouldn't

undertake any sort of treatment.
