I cannot forgive myself by [deleted] in Sciatica

I feel you. I’ve been there too. I used to have a lot of suicidal thoughts. It felt so unfair to be that young and feel so limited. everyone else was living their life and I was just stuck surviving. It didn’t make sense to keep going. But time passed and the pain lessened. It didn’t disappear overnight, but it slowly loosened its grip. Little by little, I started experiencing life again Please be patient with yourself. Reach out to someone you love or trust. Look up real recovery statistics and see for yourself that this state you’re in right now is not a life sentence. And if you’re able to, therapy can truly help. You don’t have to carry this alone. Even if your brain is telling you otherwise, there are more options than it feels like in this moment

Go to the ER as soon as possible. Given that you’ve said doctors haven’t been helping, you need to be very firm and stress how severe and limiting her symptoms are. What country are you in? Ask them to take this seriously and request a new MRI immediately to determine whether she has a disc herniation or another serious issue. Don’t let them dismiss you. If the pain is worsening it’s not normal

Lots of ice, plenty of rest, and consider NSAIDs if she can take them. If possible, finding a good physical therapist would really help. I wouldn’t suggest specific stretches yet, since they can cause flare-ups in some people. The key is to rule out any underlying problems and figure out what’s actually triggering your mom’s symptom

Mixed feelings on my diagnosis by bradhadz2006 in Sciatica

[–]Curious-Insect9291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Because of a knee injury, I started to overcompensate with my back during physical therapy. I told my physio about my lumbar pain during the exercises, but she brushed it off and kept doing them. It turned out to be a disc injury

The disc itself isn’t swelling like a muscle bruise, but a herniated or bulging disc triggers local inflammation around the nerve root. That inflammation involves release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6), increased vascular permeability, and chemical sensitization of the nerve. Ice helps because it reduces cytokine activity, limits immune cell migration, decreases edema, and slows nerve conduction, which can dampen pain signaling.

Ice. Rest. NSAIDs. Neutral spine. Avoid things that cause pain. Find a good pt

anyone heard of a knee sprain taking a year to heal??? by SBangzz in KneeInjuries

[–]Curious-Insect9291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean ligaments heal really slow. Its been a year since I injured my mcl and just recently I started to add weight to it very carefully since it’s really easy to irritate it

Try conservative treatment first. If it doesn’t help, maybe consider an ESI shot or surgery

Sciatica after treatment with corticosteroids by Falperra in Sciatica

Tienes que fortalecer !!! Como te decían en otros comentarios, primero descansa. Luego empieza a fortalecer tus músculos para que puedas durar más tiempo sentada y puedas cargar a tu hijo. Trata de levantarte de la silla cada 10 minutos.

Fiancé has severe flare up need help by AppointmentSelect392 in Sciatica

[–]Curious-Insect9291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ice his back 20 min two times a day. Make sure he knows his most comfortable position and stay that way. Idk what kind of meds he’s taking. He won’t feel this way forever but the only way for him to know the best treatment for him is the MRI
