I just visited some friends of mine at a place I used to work at. The guy is a chef and is on his feet all day. (And he's a young Dad in his early 30's). He was almost hunched over with the pain, he claims is a "pinched nerve" in his disc. That is NO fun! I advised him on some supplements and exercise as follows...
Contrary to what some think, all back pain is not Sciatica, nor is all pain in the lower back, buttocks and legs caused by a herniated disc. We tend to get too freaked out to serious sounding names of diseases and most of us tend to associate even ‘similar’ symptoms to them.
Sciatica is known to be a symptom of a disc problem. Tenderness, tingling, pins and needles, numbness or a burning sensation in a limb is commonly associated with sciatica. Don't be so quick to jump to those conclusions, it doesn't necessarily mean that such pain means a problem with your spine.
It's often caused due to a pinched nerve and does not necessarily mean that you have to rush for treatment of prescription drugs. A pinched nerve is the result of compression, tightening or stretching of a nerve. Nerves that pass over bones are the more vulnerable.
Most of the time, sciatica-like pain can be treated with simple remedies that can be acquired over-the counter. The most recommended treatment is to give the body and specifically the damaged area some rest.
Modify your activities to avoid those that cause or aggravate compression of the affected nerve. Try some muscle strengthening and stretching exercises to work on the affected area to relieve the compression.
Homeopathic Remedies form an integral part of any OTC treatment. Rhus tox, if the pain gets better on applying warmth and Arnica, if it follows an injury are among the most common homoeopathic remedies for pain caused by a pinched nerve. Herbal tea made of equal parts of St. John’s Wort, Siberian Ginseng and Skullcap will also ease pain equally well. More herbs that relieve pain can be found Here.
Here are some suggestions on helping you to relieve the pain:
* A good posture is a precondition for avoiding a pinched nerve.
* Learn how to pick heavy objects properly – bend your knees and not your back.
* Avoid sitting in the same position for long periods.
* If you have a sitting job, invest in an ergonomic chair or take a break every now and then to give rest to tensed muscles.
* Make exercise a part of your daily routine.
* Avoid putting on weight.
* Include Lecithin in your diet; it can help to regenerate nerves.
