Saitica / Sciatica ? Its Cure ?
Posted: 03-19-05 10:03am

I am a computer professional, from mumbai, india.
First of all is there anything called saitica or its just sciatica ?
If both are different then what does each of it mean & what is its cure.
Currently a female is having pain at the thighs on the backside.
When approached to the doctor, it was suggested that it is saitica.
The doctor tells that there is no perfect cure for it.
I am in a fix ???? How should I proceed.

Sciatica

From what I understand the sciatic is a nerve that runs from your hip down the leg, when the nerve is pinched this is called sciatica. In the past I experienced chronic problems with my sciatic nerve, which oddly enough have ceased with the birth of my last child in 2000. While having problems I was sent to physical therapy(which at times helped, but at other times seemed to worsen the pain) and told to take anti-inflammatory medication (ie: advil) as needed.
