Sciatica Support Group
Sciatica is a term meaning pain that originates from compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve in the body. If the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed (perhaps by a bulging disc in the low back) a patient may experience leg pain--the classic symptom of sciatica.
hello, my name isDenise Troy. I have dealt with sciatica for twenty years after breaking my back in four places due to a birth defect that caused my back to crumble when I gave birth to my son. anyway, on and off for years I.ve dealt with the sciatica, sitting on tennis balls, doing the leg stretch on the floor...anthything...and defiantly routine physical therapy once a year. Well, for twenty months now I have been dealing with a new disease...essential tremor disease....and it is in high gear due to my many seizures that I,ve been having for over a year. Apparently the seizures affected the part of the brain where the tremor disease rests, and now it is in high gear. Which bearings me to the sciatica. Y bad leg, the right one...won’t stop tremoring.....contantly...and it aggravates the sciatica terrible....I wear ice paces on my calf muscle when i
m at home for some relief but you can’t do that all the time. So this infliction, the sciatica, that I thought was....calmed down, and something I would only deal with on a time to time basis...is now a new constant in my life....my dr.s have me me on powerful muscle relaxers and four hundred mg os magnisium plus the tremor meds....but, the leg keeps going going going. so I was looking for a friend on here. I.d love to hear from someone.

Have you tried a vitamin B Complex with all the Bs which are good for the nerves?
I take this in addition to Magnesium combo of oxide/glycinate along with a good multi and several other vitamins to keep things less bouncy for me. Taking the extra Bs seems to be really good for calming down the nerves and less bouncy (not exactly tremors).

I have a couple of autoimmune disorders - Rheumatoid Arthritis and Graves' Disease. When I follow a diet that is as organic and non-GMO as possible along with using the safer household and personal products that are not loaded with all the bad chemicals, toxins and preservatives, I do much better in keeping my health as balanced as possible. I do what I can.
