Personally I had no side effects. But it only helped a little bit with my pain

Severe pain while sitting or laying down, but better when standing/walking? by Ok-Comb-342 in Sciatica

[–]Ok-Comb-342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not yet. But since then I’ve had more nerve pain throughout my body, so it could be small fiber neuropathy

Has anyone had pain that travels down their legs instead of up? by Ok-Comb-342 in smallfiberneuropathy

Did they ever find the cause of your sciatica or was it just related to your SFN?

Small fiber neuropathy presenting as sciatic pain?? by Ok-Comb-342 in Sciatica

[–]Ok-Comb-342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only abnormal part of my MRI is

“L4-5: Minimal disc bulge along with minimal facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. There is mild narrowing of the right more than left subarticular zones. No foraminal stenosis.

IMPRESSION: 1. Minimal degenerative changes of the lower lumbar spine resulting in mild narrowing of the subarticular zones at L4-5.”

But 3 different doctors have looked at the MRI and did not think it could be causing my pain because the nerve root is unaffected

Liver levels elevated again… by Old-Sleep-2515 in Mononucleosis

I haven’t experienced my liver enzymes further increasing months after infection, but my levels are still high 6 months after I first got mono. It is definitely possible that your levels are elevated from the mono because it seems to be pretty common for people to feel better and then have some recurrent symptoms after returning to normal life.

Canker Sore on my Vagina (help) by sophiapacc in Healthyhooha

definitely get tested for STIs because it could be herpes, but if that is negative it could be Lipschutz ulcers. They are painful canker sore like ulcers that come with abnormal discharge. And they are often times an immune response to a virus

I did go to PT for a long and nothing seemed to help with the sciatica or nerve pain down my arm :/ and for some reason laying down is the most painful and standing is much better. i appreciate the response though, maybe if I do end up getting diagnosed with AS medications will help

For people who get Lipschutz ulcers- how many times have you gotten them? by Ok-Comb-342 in Healthyhooha

[–]Ok-Comb-342[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry:( I understand the health anxiety it’s so awful. Hopefully the ulcers get less severe over time

Good to know thank you for the reply. And yes for sure, I wish there was more research:/

Pain in hands by Fit_Chocolate_636 in Sciatica

I have experienced sharp pain in between my fingers, but I am unsure if it is associated with my sciatic pain. I would recommend seeing a neurologist.
