does prostrate trouble cause back and sciatica pain?

Yes. The swelling will make it touche some nerve and push your tissues  on your spinal cord.

I have scoleosis and spina bifida.  My problems are structural, not muscular.  I quit using my back after multiple injuries because I was so afraid that I would reinjure it.  Then the muscles in my back began to weaken.  I went to see a chiropractor, and this helped some.  He referred me to a good physical therapist (which is a rare thing in this day and age) who prescribed an exercise regimen to strengthen my core muscles.  Strengthening those muscles completely eradicates my back pain.\n\nI have walked your path (and still do frequently as I had to quit my exercise regimen for a while and the pain returned), and I literally feel your pain.  Blessings to you and good luck, and I most sincerely mean that.

Yes it can if a disc is pressing on the sciatic nerve. It is very painful.

The causes of back pain can be mechanical, meaning from your bones, muscles, or joints, or it could be organic in nature.  That means that the pain is being caused by something more internal that is referring pain to the back.  Kidney infection, or stones will commonly refer pain to the back.  One simple way to help determine if the pain is more mechanical in nature is to see if you can find a comfortable position to get into.  If you can, then the pain is probably from an injury to your spinal joints or a sprained muscle.  Did you notice anything that might have caused a sprained back?  For example heavy lifting.  Disc hernitations are common and can cause serious back pain.  You can not see a disc herniation on an x-ray.  You need an MRI for that.  If you went to the hospital, assuming the ER, they are concerned mostly about a fracture or other serious pathology.  \nIf you have a primary doctor go see him or her.  You can also seek out a chiropractor.  Either will help you understand the cause of your pain.

I go to a chiropractor and she aligns my body and works the muscles very gently.  I go about once every 5-6 weeks.  It has helped tremendously.  I don't get the excruciating pains anymore and it also helps with headaches as it relieves pressure.  Sciatica is painful from the back of the hip to your feet.  Give it a try, it will help.  Make sure you go to a reputable doctor.  Good luck.

Back pain, especially low back pain, is the most common complaint for which physician visits are sought annually in the United States.  The most common cause of back pain is not stress. In fact, stress alone rarely causes back pain; it may, as you mentioned, cause tension (which is just "discomfort" that can be relived with rest and warm showers.\nThe most common causes of low back pain are lumbar stains and sprains, which account for 70% of all low back pain. In lay terms, strain is muscular tear and injury and sprain is ligamentous injury.\n\n(The rest include: "10% of cases are due to age-related degenerative changes in discs and facets, 4% of cases are due to herniated discs, 4% are due to osteoporotic compression fractures, and 3% are due to spinal stenosis. All other causes account for less than 1% of cases.")\n\nRecent studies have shown that bed rest is NOT effective in relieving low back pain and it may even be detrimental as it causes loss of muscle strength in the low back area.  Treatments of choice are multiple and are chosen on a case by case basis.  Physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, range of motion excercises, and surgery in severe cases may be indicated.\nBottom line, you must see a physician and be evaluated as to whether you may benefit from physical therapy.\n\nF.

Sciatic nerves run from your spine and go down the backs of your legs. You can get sciatic pain from standing to long, from a slipped disk, from too much weight on your stomach, from lifting heavy objects improperly, from pregnancy, etc. If you have sciatic pain, you have to get rid of the condition causing it. Or if that doesn't work, talk to your doctor about a diagnosis and treatment.

sciatica is serious business, it can change your life. Your sciatic nerve is the main trunk of your spine.. quite litteraly  the core of your central nervous system.. Sciatica can drop you to your knees and there isn't much they can to.. Thanks to prescription junkies its hard to get pain killers. A good chiropractor helps but the best thing you could do is find a QXCI operator in your area, they can help with pain.I make a living in bioresonance and at one time I was a skeptic. One treatment on a QXCI and I was pain free for a month. I was so impressed that I bought one and went into the business to help others. PM me with your local info (city/state) and I'll find some one near you.

it is a pain in your lower back that's a little bit sharper than a regular muscle ache- almost like a burning.  it will also feel like it's deeper in your body than a muscle ache (obviously).  the symptom is the pain.  drink lots of water and fruit juice (expecially cranberry) until you can seea doctor.

Low back pain could be cancer that has spread, but if it is cancer most likely you have some other symptoms.  The cancers most likely to spread to the spine are prostate cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer.  If the back pain isn't helped by over the counter meds, and stays for more than a few days get it checked out.  My husband had persistent low back pain and it turned out to be prostate cancer that had spread to his spine.  Yours may be nothing serious, but don't ignore it.

Yes.  In the back, down the legs, it's called sciatica.  In the stomach, I'm not sure.  But you should see a rheumatologist, fibromyalgia could be causing the problem.  Mine sent me to a neurologist, and he diagnosed me with neuropathy, but trust me; get it treated quickly; I put it off till my hands were limp at the wrist and I couldn't stand on my legs....

Pain that is caused by another part of your body having a problem that is felt somewhere else.\n\nExample... pain in the back of your leg can actually be orginating from your low back or hip.

Bulging lumbar discs are usually associated with decreased pain with walking and increased pain with prolonged and improper sitting.  There is up to 200 times the normal pressure in a disc when we remain seated.  Getting up and walking reverses the curve in our spine that occurs with sitting...allowing the disc to resume a more neutral position.  \n\nIf you already have a documented back condition, I suggest following up with a physical therapist who will perform an evaluation as to which exercises are the most appropriate for YOU (rather than guessing which ones MIGHT be good)!  \n\n...but keep up the walking if it decreases the pain...and limit your time sitting to 20 minutes at a time.

wow 2 good answers and one stupid one.  I'm not sure what the first guy meant when he brought up the uncommon pyriformis syndrome, but I can vouch as a doc and a patient that occasionally, after the sciatica goes away, you get weird leg pains which are actually muscle cramps due to being out of shape.  These can be muscles you don't usually think about or worry about, like the pyriformis muscle.  \n\nMost herniated discs heal on their own without treatment.  It's no surprise ppl make claims that they took zero medications and they're fine.  However, inflamation is not always the best thing for the body to do (example: seasonal allergies are inflammation to innocuous things like dust!), and so anti-inflammatories are appropriate for something like a herniated disc.  Also, if they can reduce a little bit of the pain so you can get up and be active, so much the better.\n\nDo's and Don'ts...  Physical therapists are experts in this regard.  They help get you out of bed and back to activity.  They teach you positions to avoid and how to lift, sit, sleep, get up, etc.  It really depends what is the cause of your sciatica though.\n\nFor herniated discs, you want to take the stress away from your discs.  Proper lifting technique (or avoid lifting).  Strong abdominal muscles to take the load off the disc.  Be careful when jumping, crouching, kneeling, tiptoeing.  Spine extension exercises.  Avoid spinal flexion.  Stay active so that all your muscles help to unload the disc

I find already three answers are there and the second one even gives you certain very good medicines .\nI do suffere from it L4 & L5 disc prolapse and under went treatment for more than one month admission in hospital.\nWeights were added to pull the leg through pulleys and immediately pain would go After some time the pain used to relapse and only when weights are removed the pain used to subside!!!Then SCIATICA developed. \nWhen you are affected badly having pain take rest. Lie down.\nLet the bed be hard one. Keep a prop up in the back while lying on back\nTake neurobion tablets to strengthen the nerves .Take DICHLOGESIC tablets .If any nervine injectionws are there take one course.When pain is more take pain killer tablets.\nBE ON BED REST till you become normal.\n\nDont sit on floor cross leged.Sit in  chairs straight and up right with a pop up to the back. There are certain chairs specially developed for this problem.Wear the hip belt.\nIt has a steel plate a small flat piece which helps as additional support to your back bone. WEAR IT ALWAYS.\nREMOVE only at night so that the nerves get relaxed at night.DONT EVER LIFT ANY WEIGHT. Even light weight learn how to sit and lift and not by bending your chest forward to lift the weight.Dont climb upstairs with weight.\nDont travel in two wheelers or in buses in back seat on bumpy roads. Every jerk adds to your problem.\nThere are certain exercises to lubricate the affected parts and to remove its frigidness. \nLifting one leg staright up without pain lying backwards and with one leg straightened and rotating it clockwise and anti clockwise. Just three four times and bring down and rest, \nRepeat with the other leg.Initially even lifting up may be painful. Dont exercise when pain is there.\nSame way lying on belly lift one leg up backwards straight without bending.\nStand up on toes with hands on some support like railings.\nLye on back kkep a low stool on which you lift and put your two legs and press the back to the floor. and then relax.\n\nGo to any hospital site and see the exercises for DISC PROLAPSE.

In mild cases there may be no symptoms at all.  But in more advanced forms, there is severe low back pain when in the erect position and on bending, with the pain radiating to the legs.  The displaced vertebra interferes with nerve roots in that area.  Mild cases require no treatment.  Severe cases may require fusion of the vertebral segments with the bone grafting; less severe symptoms can be relieved by a specially fitted corset.
