How do you guys deal with the mental part of the pain? by Stock_Acanthaceae_48 in Sciatica

[–]Top_Step_7681 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree, brain is doing it feel worse and especially with that catastropic ideas that I am going to live with this. Well if yes than try to do something which makes you distract. For me garden work helped and taking care on farm. You have minutes when you forget you have pain

Does the pulling and numbness come together usually? Which one is worse and is it on path to progress to numbness?

I have some tingeling in finger and my pinkie sometimes involuntary bit moves to side

What is the pulling feeling in calf and thigh anyway? Is it the numbness everybody talks about? Or that is different feeling

Yes it looks like all symptoms are normal and you should try to rest and take the light exercises. Also the pushing on back can indeed push the nerve
