My aunt had the exact same thing a few months ago.The only time that she was comfortable was when she lied flat on a hard surface.She ended up having to go to a chiropractor and after a few treatments she felt like her normal self again.

Thanx for the help and I will check ur site out..It seems like at 22 I shouldn't be having these back problems...But my dad does have alkalosis spondylitis.....So what do you do if you have sciatica?? Does it just go away with time or do I need 2 visit a doctor....Im not even sure what that is..Im about 2 look it up

There are many treatments for sciatica before surgery is considered.

Yeah I got the link 2 ur site....Thanx once again....I will check it out more when I feel better....Does anyone know of any good over the counter medicine that I can get and take till I can get a doctor on monday??? I want 2 try and see if it will get better on its own first..I hate doctors :oops:

hasn't your doctor even mentioned possible sciatic nerve or pinched nerve problems...Even muscle problems might cause this?? Sometimes therapy/massage could relieve if the person is experienced...But I am learned that lower back trouble, which I have, can cause all sorts of other problems too!! Hope you find out what is best to do.

Katgirl22, I have had sciatica problems until I found an essential oil that was advertised on the internet about 18 months ago. I bought it and I have been basically painfree (except for one very short bout) this whole year. Mind you it took about 6 month or so before all the pain had left. But even during this time, the pain was greatly reduced until it finally disappeared al together.



good luck and I hope you find some relief
