Sciatic Nerve Pain Rehab – Inflamed Sciatic Nerve
THIS HURTS! What hurts…: left side of my back which i presume is my sciatica nerve, if i sit too much then the pain goes down my left thigh and sometimes down into my left shin or area below my knee. How you hurt it…: don’t really know other than maybe lifting cans at work and it was easing until i did some gardening and then it got worse. When you hurt it…: probably four or five monthsago. Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): varies between 2 and 8. Your age and overall health…: 62 and overweight. Any other information you feel is relevant…: eases when on my feet and walking around. YOUR INJURY COULD BE… Inflamed Sciatic Nerve. REHAB YOUR INJURY BY… Controlling Inflammation Around Nerve by Icing: Lay side-lined with the painful side up. Place a pillow between your knees for comfort. Place ice pack on painful region for 15 minutes, 2 to 3 times per day with at least one hour in-between. One Knee-To-Chest: Bring one knee to your check and hold for 15 seconds. Switch to other knee until you have completed this 3 times on each leg. These exercises should not bring about pain, stop if they do. Both Knees-To-Chest: Bring both knees to your chest together holding them there for 15 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3 times. Nerve Glide: While on your back, bend your knees. Lift one knee up, while holding the back with your hands or band and pump your knee into and out of the pain. Repeat this exercise 10 times on both knees. Can’t find any recent video’s that …

@joyfeline SORRY YOUR BACK HURTS.I WAS LIKE THAT ON AND OFF FOR YEARS.GOT A DISC OUT CAUSE IT HAD PUSHED OUT AND DAMAGED THE NERVE.GO TO A GOOD SPECIALIST NOW AND SAVE A LOAD OF HASSELL LATER IN LIFE.
I got accupuncture and 30 minutes later the pain was gone forever!
I am going to try this out; I’ve had Sciatica for a month now. It is driving me crazy, so painful to drive and so so painful when I wake up in the morning. I hope these exercises work. Because I can’t see myself having to live with this pain for years like some people have.
how annoying is her voice!
Interesting that the cause of the sciatica is nerve impingement as discussed here. Yet this is an effect, not a cause…if the cause is not properly addressed this is all prophylactic
why do you pump into the pain? i thought you were supposed to avoid causing yourself pain during any exercising.
i am 16 years old and have a sl l5 herniated disk it is pinched my siatic nerve in my left leg it has healed but it still bothers me some times how can i stop this
Oh, man I’ve been having pain exactly like this for almost a month..THIS HURTS..it shoots pain from my buttocks down the left side of my leg then all the way to my calf and toes…I’ve been taking like 12 anti-inflammitory/pain killers a day…
you really helped me get rid of my problem so thank you very much . Albuquerque
wow, this was so helpful, im so glad you did this video!!! i have had major pain in that area and found it even more difficult when i sleep as i sleep on my side, thanks again:)
I have had this pinched nerve for over two years, when i was only 17 and this pain is super painful (sometimes causing me to walk like my almost 80 year-old grandma). I hope to God these exercises will relief me of all the pain.
Thanks for sharing.
@debgale1 Yeah, they’re great! It may depend on the reason for your sciatica though. My pain was caused by a torn piraformis muscle which swelled and clamped my sciatic nerve so the TENS really loosened up those muscles and gave me huge relief.
This is dope, I’m only 24 and I damaged my sciatic nerve (according to the Doctor at the hospital, who only looked at me for like 30 seconds) on Friday. I’d been sat cross-legged for a couple of hours playing video games. The pain started from my ass down the back of my right leg, down to the knee (no further). I’ve been resting up and it’s gotten better, but these exercises are great. Thanks.
had this it sucks.
Sweet. I know I have this problem. It’s hell. I haven’t been able to sleep in, I always wake up with pinching and fire like pain on my left thigh. I hate it.
Thank you.
I don’t know if you have ever actually had this pain but it can be extremely intense…debilitating I would say.
You helped me.
I have this problem. It got worse after I was hit by a car. It only happens when I stand in place for a long time or when I am walking without something on my back. Pilates seem to help it.
@detox96 umm, stem cells are now approved in the US.
