I have got pains in my arms and back it can move around to my chest.

I went hopsital last week and had an ecg they said my heart was fine but,
I have a very fast pulse.

Can this be the cause of the way I am feeling or is it just stress.

Thanks Lesley

I am familiar with alot of holistic approaches and sometimes holistic medicene can work but first and most importantly, a person needs to find out if sciatica is the cause of your symptoms. Your doctor will take a thorough history, perform a physical exam, and test several specific functions of the nerve. Several other conditions may cause hip and thigh pain, and need to be considered. It is important to determine the correct cause of your symptoms prior to beginning treatment of sciatica. Other tests, including X-Rays or possibly an MRI may be helpful, but they may not needed.
