WOW!! What a question, first you should always seek a doctors care, but in the mean time try this. \nMaintain good posture.\nUse correct posture when lifting.\nSleep on a firm surface providing support for the lower back and under your knees if it feels more comfortable.\nApply ice or cold packs for 20 minutes every two hours. Once pain has lessened decrease this to 20 minutes two times a day.\nWarm showers with water directed at the painful area can help. \n***** If you have or develop any of these see a doctor at once*****\n1.Severe pain that goes down into the leg or groin.\n2.Burning or painful urination\n3.Unexplained fever of 100.5,chills, nausea, vomiting or weight loss.\n4.Numbness or tingling in leg or foot\n5.Chronic pain that does not improve after two weeks of self-care.\nOnce again if you haven't done so please seek a doctor's care!!!!!

I have Sciatica and my symptoms are a numb foot and my calf feels like the muscle is pulled.  I had an MRI and its a pinched S1 nerve from a bulging disk.  I know someone else who had sciatica from a L5 herniation and nerve pinch and there was buttock and ankle soreness.  Usually sciatica goes lower than just the buttocks but not always.  My Doc told me that it is possible to injure a disk by sneezing or vomiting if you already have a weakness there.  Also, many times its just muscle related and goes away with time.  He might want to try massage, or talk to his Doc about getting muscle relaxer and anti-inflammatory meds if he doesn't get better.  The next step is an MRI diagnosis if it doesn't respond any in a few weeks. I was told that it usually takes about 6 weeks to heal from a disk problem. Good luck!

Don't know of any cures, but you may want to see an acupuncturist.  Acupuncture is very effective at treating a wide array of pain conditions.

Nobody suspects Sciatic Nerve?  Do some research online for that and see if that doesnt match your symptoms.  What you desribe sounds exactly like it to me.  I have trouble with mine from time to time, and the only relief I get is from a minimum of 800 milligrams of Ibuprofen.  Last time took me 3 weeks to be completely pain and numbness free.

Treatment options are critical at this point.. You apparently have a structural problem (even at your young age), perhaps familial or congenital. Is something quite routinely seen, in the doctor of Chiropractic office. \n\nIt appears to be involving the sciatic nerve. You don't want it to grow into a full blown sciatica..as it is much worse than what you are experiencing at the moment. Suggest you take care of is asap.. as it will only progress..as the inflammatory process is already evident.\n\nBeen there, done that!!

A good probiotc will help. But grape seed extract will probably cure it. check with me if you have questions

You have my sympathy..back problems are so debilitating,I know,having suffered for many years,ranging from Sciatica to a Prolapsed Disc.\nMy advise to you would be,plenty of rest with a cold compress on the affected area,pain-relief and anti-inflammatory and a cream/ointment designed for muscle strain etc.\nMaybe you could ask someone to massage some Tea Tree and Lavender blended with a good carrier oil such as,Almond,into the lower back using as much pressure as is comfortable for you.\nIf any of the above don't improve your condition then I suggest you visit a Chiropractor or see your GP and ask for an x-ray just to rule out anything more serious such as disc problems or trapped nerves.\nI wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are feeling better very soon.

There are lots of reasons for sciatica.  Your pelvis may be rotated, you may have a disc issue, or you may just have tight muscles pinching on the nerve.  You should seek out physical therapy--they can help decipher which of these answers it could be.  In the mean time, try ice--it's an anti-inflammatory.  Put it at the start of your pain.  It will help take down any inflammation or swelling pressing on the nerve.

Surgery should be your last option. \n\nI suggest seeing a physical therapist if necessary but avoiding poor posture. Positioning for comfort and daily abdominal crunches should help. \n\nIf it hurts don't do it. And get a comfortable bed. \n\nIf you get back spasms due to the herniation, see your doctor, you may need an antispasmotic. \n\nLow back pain is a chronic condition. There is no easy fix. Therefore, think long term solutions. You know your body and your pain better than anyone...gauge the effectiveness of your interventions by how you feel. \n\nDon't overly rely on pain meds. They can build tolerance and don't cure you. Use them only for the really bad days. By the way, alternative pain interventions really work. Don't think they don't. Research yoga or meditation. Avoid chiropractors for herniated discs. They won't help in the long run. \n\nHope that helps.

80% of back pain will resolve itself in around 8 weeks.  If you have tried, physicial therapy, chiro, accupuncture, anti inflammatories, low dose steriods, and epidurals  and nothing has worked, your next step is surgery.\n\nBe mindful of any leg weakness.  That is a "go to the doctor right away"  symptom\n\nIf you experience foot drop (where you can no longer flex or point your foot) that is a "Go to the ER symptom"\n\nIf you experience a loss of bowel or bladder control, that is also a "Go to the ER symptom"\n\nGood luck

Try checking out spine-health.com. I've had sciatica which is when the sciatic nerve is pinched or impinged upon sometimes by normal wear and tear and sometimes by a strain/slight injury (even without realizing it). It can also be caused by a disc problem. The pain is real and it usually effects the upper thigh and sometimes the hip and can radiate downwards. I use ice and Motrin. Of course your mom should check with her doc to make sure she can take an anti-inflammatory if indeed that is what it ends up being. That spine-health.com has a list of issues dealing with bulging discs, herniated discs etc. The bulging disc can range from mild to severe but there are treatments available that are successful. Also there is a ligament (can't remember the name of it at the moment) that runs outside and just below the hip through the outside of the buttock to the thigh that even if just strained can cause much pain. It's good she's getting an MRI to determine whether it's actually disc involvement or muscular in nature. I'm not a doctor, just played a lot of sports so have a bit of experience with some of these. Good Luck.

Well, there is a fairly new one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. This treatment really seems to stop a main cause of these disc problems, and I know of some persons who got rid of all symptoms within a short period of time.\n\nAnyway, it's worth trying - you'll be amazed.\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It worth even a long journey! :-)

I have mild scoliosis along with a herniated disc in my lower back.  I've only had one bout of very severe pain and it lasted about 4 months.  It was so bad it kept me awake at night and I walked with a limp and I thought I was going to have to have surgery but I really wanted to avoid that.  I went to a chiropractor and he did help the limp but the pain only got worse.  What finally helped me get rid of the pain was when my doctor prescribed a round of Prednisone to help with the inflammation.  It finally eased the pain enough that I could get some sleep.  After I finished the Prednisone and was enough better that I could at least function, he sent me to a Physical Therapist to learn some helpful exercises.  I had to do them every day but the improvement in the pain was definitely enough to keep me doing the exercises.  The next step for me was weigh loss. I lost 115 pounds and started doing all kinds of different exercises from aerobics, to running, to weight lifting.  I have been completely pain free for over almost a year and a half now and I managed to avoid surgery.  Good luck with your pain, I know it's excruciating and miserable to have to live with back pain.  I hope you get it resovled soon.

You probably have what the first person said, sciatica...it is painful, and is really basically a pinched nerve causing havoc inside your joint. It will go away with time, but until it does you will need to be careful as the nerve can also deaden the feeling in your leg and cause you to hit the floor without even knowing how you got there!!! The doc should be able to figure it out soon, but until then take it easy!

Sounds like you may have injured the sciatic nerve that runs from your buttocks to your heal.  Only rest and cortisone shots will help

Well, you can get rid of the problem completely - after having a one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax and letting your discs some time to regenerate. It really seems to work.\n\nJust - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It worth even a long journey! :-)
