How Long Can I Take Pain Killers For Sciatica?
How long would a Sciatica pain last? How long can I take pain killers?
I experience pain in my right hip while walking. At times mild pain can be felt even while being seated. The pain at time radiates along my thighs. X rays have revealed reduction of gap in my lower spine.
I have been asked to do some exercises and i really feel better after doing those.
However i still have to take 1 Volteron (Diclofenac 75mg) a day to be able to go to work.
Honestly speaking, i am just sick of not being able to walk with comfort, and my movements are severely restricted at times.
It has been over 2 months that i have this pain.

The pain will never go away until you deal with the cause. Conventional doctors will often prescribe pain killers (most often because they simply don’t have the time or resources to do much more). These pain killers simply mask things, and can even make things worse (you can get a false sense of confidence) . You need to go and see a chiropractor, physiotherapist or osteopath. All are specialists in the problem that you have.
You have my complete sympathy; I’ve been there myself. Good luck.
You have to ask your doctor for this sort of advice
I had severe Sciatica first time in 1987,when I was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc.(commonly referred to as a slipped disc) after long sessions of physio etc: I had surgery.99% of back pain does not require surgery.I had very strong painkillers 25mg Tramadol and you cannot drive or operate machinery.Ask your GP to be referred to physio. They really do help. The last thing you want is surgery, I had to have decompression in1992 ‘cos I couldn’t walk. I am OK now. but it is all down to wear and tear. Must look after your back.
try to avoid driving or sitting down for long periods
go to a reputable osteopath they will sort you out
"Sciatica" can have a variable pain pattern, it may be mild or severe, it may be constant or intermittent, it might relieve spontaneoulsy or become a chronic problem…such is the nature of it’s course.
The fact that you’ve noticed certain activities or positions aggrevate it or your motion becomes restricted is suggestive that it is an entitiy that can change. The idea at this time is to promote movements that relieve symptoms and avoid those that leave you feeling worse.
I wonder what exercises there are that you are doing, but I would recommend you see a physical therapist who is trained in the mechanical diagnosis and therapy method…these are experts in the field of mechanically based neck and back pain.
Take care of this before it does become a chronic problem. You can find an MDT trained therapist by going to: http: //www. mckenziemdt. org
