🚨🚨CAN'T FIX SCIATICA NERVE PAIN????🚨🚨

👍EFFECTIVE EXERCISES FOR SCIATICA 👍

Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which branches from your lower back through your hips and buttocks and down each leg. Typically, sciatica affects only one side of your body.

Sciatica most commonly occurs when a herniated disk, bone spur on the spine or narrowing of the spine (spinal stenosis) compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

Symptoms:
Pain that radiates from your lower (lumbar) spine to your buttock and down the back of your leg is the hallmark of sciatica. You might feel the discomfort almost anywhere along the nerve pathway, but it's especially likely to follow a path from your low back to your buttock and the back of your thigh and calf.

The pain can vary widely, from a mild ache to a sharp, burning sensation or excruciating pain. Sometimes it can feel like a jolt or electric shock. It can be worse when you cough or sneeze, and prolonged sitting can aggravate symptoms. Usually only one side of your body is affected.

Causes:

Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve becomes pinched, usually by a herniated disk in your spine or by an overgrowth of bone (bone spur) on your vertebrae. More rarely, the nerve can be compressed by a tumor or damaged by a disease such as diabetes.

⛑️👉 Osteoarthritis 👈⛑️

Osteoarthritis (OA) is most common form of arthritis. Some call it degenerative joint disease or “wear and tear” arthritis. It occurs most frequently in the hands, hips, and knees.

With OA, the cartilage within a joint begins to break down and the underlying bone begins to change.

😵Signs and Symptoms of OA? 😵
-Pain or aching
-Stiffness
-Decreased range of motion (or flexibility)
-Swelling

⚠️ Risk factors for OA? ⚠️
Joint injury or overuse, such as knee bending and repetitive stress on a joint
Age—The risk of developing OA increases with age.
Gender—Women are more likely to develop OA than men, especially after age 50.
Obesity—Extra weight puts more stress on joints, particularly weight-bearing joints like the hips and knees.
Genetics—People who have family members with OA are more likely to develop OA.

🩺OA diagnosed?🩺
OA is diagnosed through a review of symptoms, physical examination, X-rays, and lab tests.

✅OA treated?✅
Doctors usually treat OA symptoms with a combination of therapies, which may include the following:
-Increasing physical activity
-Physical therapy with muscle strengthening exercises
-Weight loss
-Medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers and prescription drugs
-Supportive devices such as crutches or canes
-Surgery (if other treatment options have not been effective). ✨

Some reasons behind neck and back pain

Never say you can't
Because you'll do it anyway. 😉

The pillow for your head should support the natural curve of your neck and be comfortable.

⚠️ A pillow that's too high can put your neck into a position that causes muscle strain on your back, neck, and shoulders ..

Choose a pillow that will keep the neck aligned with the chest and lower back. Your pillow should be adjustable to allow you to sleep in different positions.

⚠️ DO NOT SIT ON YOUR WALLET ! ⚠️

This is something which we are not focusing in our daily life but can produce multiple problems in spine especially for those who have long sitting hours.

Our wallet can be real pain for your back and the waist, and it can even lead to shooting pains down the legs. Sitting on a wallet for prolonged hours every day can compress sciatic nerve which passes beneath piriformis muscle and leads to piriformis syndrome, low back pain & self-inflicted sciatica.

The wallet acts as a wedge that forces the pelvis, spine and body out of alignment.

The healthiest option is to move the wallet to your front pocket. If it's must to keep your wallet in your back pocket, you should remove it before you sit down.
