right in the centre, on the sole of your foot. You will find some comfort, just pressing tight and massaging there. Yoga is the best cure for sciatica, i've been through it.

Try a complementary therapy. Aromatherapy- you get a massage and some sweet smelling herbs/plants which aim to help you i.e lavander rubbed into your back or whole body.

Sciatica is characterised by pain in the lower back region, buttock and leg.  It can be caused by something pressing on the sciatic nerve and responds well to osteopathy, physiotherapy and chiropractor treatment.  If it is sciatica and you want temporary relief buy a heat pad from boots or any other leading chemist.  I use therma heat which straps around the lower back and have regular physiotherapy.  Check out google to get a more through description.

hi,\n\nTaking pain killers to relief from your back is not your right decision. Pain killers have great side effects. Avoid taking pain killers if the pain is not severe. Home remedies are safe and secure for your future health too. Some effective home remedies for back pain are:\n\n* Raw potato is an ancient home remedy for backache, Application of raw potato in the form of a poultice has been found very effective in this condition. \n* Massage with eucalyptus oil is also very effective remedy, mustard oil can also be used. \n* Take half a gram of dalchini powder with one-teaspoon honey at least twice a day for best results. \n* Oil prepared from garlic and rubbed on the back will give immediate relief. \n\nGood Day !!\nMaria

First, you need to decrease the pain.  Depending upon how long you have had the injury/problem would depend upon the advice I would give.  Ice normally works well for recent injuries - use for 10 minutes every hour.  If the problem is older than 7-10 days, try heat for 15-20 minutes.  If in doubt, use ice as heat can sometimes make it worse (even though it feels good).\n\nWhat sort of positions help to decrease your pain?  Different back problems respond to different exercises.  A really good website is www.mckenziemdt.org.  You can also find a certified McKenzie therapist who can determine the cause of your back problem.  This is a well researched technique which I use extensively with my back pain patients.\n\nOnce things start to calm down, I always use Pilates mat exercises, with modifications as necessary.  These will work the core muscles in your lower abdomen.  By getting these stronger, you can almost form a corset of muscular strength around the lower back.  Pelvic floor exercises/Kegals can also be important, especially if you have had a baby or other pelvic floor problems.\n\nA referal from your doctor to a good physical therapist should be able to determine the cause of your back problem and you will receive the correct advice to your problem.\n\nGood luck!

As a 28 year old young woman with scoliosis I have a lot of experience with back pain. The fact that the pain is radiating down to your thigh makes me think it is related to you sciatic nerve. What I have found the most helpful is yoga and pilates. The controlled movements of yoga not only strengthen your back and abdominal muscles but they also provide flexibility and stretching to the core muscles that have a huge influence on spine health. I am looking for a yoga class right now for this very reason. After physicians keep telling me to simply take ibuprofen/aleve/etc... It can get very frustrating. Especially when none of those drugs can touch the pain! I wish you the best!

I ride my bike every day at least, im a freestyle mountain biker and i'm also sponsored for downhill racing, a lot of times if you have pain in your lower back, its just stress on your muscles getting worked out and into shape again, it also might be that your pushing yourself to ride harder than you need to, taking non-prescription joint pills may help, but icing your back or taking an ice bath or really cold shower really helps

Aleve works good for my leg pain but i bet doans pills would be better for you.  I use extra strenght for back pain which i don't get that often anymore.  take two pills to start and another half an hour later.  by then even if you have pain you don't care.......

if you have a pain that lasts more than a couple of days, go see a doctor, because it could be more dangerous than you think. but if you are able to move around and it just hurts when you sit in a certain position or sit for to long, try a back patch. they work pretty well. also try the cold/hot. try a cold patch then a hot patch and continue to alter it. also try taking hot showers and letting the water roll down your back. you are also try sleeping on your side instead on your back, and then again you can try sleeping on the floor for a few nights. if you don't like sleeping on the floor, get a piece of wood (old door) and place between your mattress and spring, to give you extra support. try to take it easy for a while. it better to take care of it now than later.

I don't know the full scope of your back condition.  But I would recommend a non-medication approach.  Try Chiropractic or Acupuncture.  Both are great a relieving even long-standing back pain (depending on what is wrong with you, of course).\n\nSorry, I know this doesn't really answer your specific question, but I hope it offers some healtier alternatives.  Good luck!

The lower back pain could be related to the TOS, since the nerves travel everywhere. From what I understand from my own doctors, the first treatment for TOS is physical therapy. You might be able to find a PT in your area, who deals with TOS, that uses sliding scale fees. Good Luck.

In most people it gradually resolves with mild activity restrictions and nonsteroidal antiinflammatories, narcotic analgesic drugs, or muscle relaxers. \n\nPeople whose symptoms do not improve with these therapies should be reevaluated professionally. It may take surgery of the lower back. To remove a herniated disk for example.\n\nUsing proper body mechanics help reduce pain. Bend at the knees, stretch, and warm up before exercise…\n\nHope this helps!

there is currently no proven treatment to stop or slow the progression of osteoarthritis in the spine.\nSorry. We have very powerful drugs to ease the pain.

**Treatment of spondylolysis and spondylolisthesis is controversial and should be managed by an orthopedic specialist.** \n\nTherapeutic modalities include rest and lumbar bracing to prevent hyperextension (excessive stretching of the back).\n\nSurgical fusion is indicated for intractable pain.\n\n-random physician

I've had back problems before. You've probably been told to change your mattress, or buy a firm pillow. I did all of those the thing that worked for me was working out my lower back and also stretching my lower  back out. This helped me. \n\nTo stretch you lower back, sit on the floor. Bring your feet inwards like you're trying to touch your stomach with your feet. (your leg is still on the ground) The soles of your feet must be touching. Know lean forward as far as you can go. It helps if someones pushes you from the back and keep you in that position for thirty second. \n\nIf that doesn't help, change your lifesyle, sit up straiht and buy insoles.\n\nWhen all else fails, see a doctor. They are the true specialist. Hope that your back gets better.
