I've had sciatica for years. I started walking with it because the next day it would be less painful. Walked for two years with no real improvement. Day on day off.
But about three months ago I started eating Pumpkin seeds as the local pound shop was doing a huge bag. Very hard to munch on these and they get into your teeth. I would get a bag a week. So I noticed my leg wasn't hurting anymore. I looked up what benefit the seeds gave. Seemingly they are high in magnesium and vitamin B1.
B1 vitamin helps coat nerves, muscles sheathes in legs. So It looks like I had a B1 deficiency.
Don't go getting the synthetic B1 tablets. Eat the natural vitamin. I've switched over to sunflower seeds as they have a higher amount of B1. Suffered that pain for years. Doctors did nothing for me except refer me to a physio? two classes and it did nothing. Try it for three months.

Look up a book called 'Mend Your Own Back'.
My sister who is a physiotherapist pointed me to it and it cured a 3-month problem I had been having in minutes. All to do with manipulating the jellylike stuff that has come out of one of your spinal discs and is touching the nerve back into where it emerged from. |

Standing with your feet shoulder length apart, and your hands on the back of a chair. Then very slowly, move your hips to the left and hold there for 20-30 seconds. Then do the same to the right. After a few goes at this (may be on different days), you'll find out that moving to either your left or right will help. It's slipping the discs back into position (in basic terms).
It was shown to me by a physio, and it definitely helps me. |
