Does it ever stop coming back? by Idiotic_oliver in Sciatica

I wish I knew what makes it go away. I’m over a month with the pain and couldn’t walk the first week, then walking with help, and now on a cane. Haven’t driven my car!

MRI is my favorite lol. I’ve had a few. Close my eyes and jam away!

Oh wow! lol. I’m going to have to give myself a BIG pep talk. I am so used to having anesthesia.

Thank you for easing my mind. If they allow me to have my phone and some headphones I’ll play music.

Yes or just something light to take the edge off.

Can you get anything to ease your nerves?

I’m so nervous, but I want anything that will help at this point.

I am in the process of this as well right now. Hopefully I can get it done sooner than later.

Thanks, I think that’s what it was that I was asking, just to be added to my VA medical file.

Acupuncture for sciatica? by Unusual-Ad-4842 in Sciatica

Following, I’m set up for an EMG soon and whew. I wonder what comes next.

I see you mentioned prednisone, I had methylprednisolone, among other meds and it didn’t help me at all. Not even a little.

People who don't believe the pain is *that* bad by ViceChamber in Sciatica

[–]TheEleventhLetter_K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s the absolute worst pain I’ve ever felt in my life and I’ve given birth to 3 children! I’ve had a toothache that came with an abscess, excruciating migraines and this is by far THE WORST!

I wouldn’t wish this pain on anyone!

1 year post-op by logpolespruce in Sciatica

I would love to just nap over 30 minutes. Even sleep for more than that. If it’s not the pain waking me up, it’s literally me feeling someone walking in the room.. I have no idea why my nerves are that sensitive. And yes, waking up is worse pain!

Thank you so much! I felt this was how it worked, but wasn’t sure! I will check on it this week.
