Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi Heidi, there is no way to know what you have done to the sciatica nerve without MRI, but from the way you are explaining it, it may easily be a bulging lumbar disk & you definitely would not want to go to a chriopractor. Rest is useful & frozen veggies held on the buttocks & sciatica nerve will freeze the pain, but driving around will only make it worse if it's a disk out or bulging one. As you know this is my area of expertise since I have degenerative disc disease & something is always bulging out & pressing on a nerve. I hope it is not this, but twisting, bending & lifting all can do it. Any adjustments other than traction would make it worse....you could try a epidural or shot of lidocaine in the buttocks if you absolutely have to travel, but rest is what it needs, assumming that is what it is!!! Good luck....feel free to call me, I've had this pain for over 20 years now......Best wishes, love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
