They have not. But I'm willing to try about anything at this point. 

 

 

It doesn't work for me because I have too much structural damage from decades of dipshlttery, but I've got buddies who've ahd really good results from the anti-inflammatory properties of quality CBD creams (if you can locate the source of the problem) or oral concentrates (if you can't).

I was using gummies daily to combat it but those have other side effects, like reduced effectiveness at work. Combo THC and CBD

I think you need a tiny bit of THC to properly activate the CBD, but you can find it in small enough ratios that it won't mess with your head.

I know a little about back problems. This was right after my 3rd surgery in 2015, which was two surgeries ago.

…..any questions?

…..sciatica was the 1st symptom I developed.

[DaVinci]

Had it often in shoulder and down the leg. What helped me was finding the right exercises and an epidural.

Acupuncture? I’d tell you to consider Tijuana as alternative medicines flourish there but it is precariously close to San Diego and the danger that looms there.  You can probably find a place near you.

it was may understanding that once it went into your legs, you needs to start getting full sets of imagining to really determine what's going on.  i go to my chiro monthly, but my back problems are due to posture at work.  i can get adjusted, exercise, and stretch to get me to a great place, but he always asks me if my pain radiates into my legs.  if it starts, it's scan time.

Does anything ACTUALLY work to alleviate this nonsense? Painkillers are useless for me. Exercises prescribed by the physical therapist similarly useless. Lost about 50lb, that didn't help.

 

Starting to become a real annoyance. Anybody out there got anything 

 

I woke up with it one night back in 2019 (my right leg was on fire and it had that feeling of stretching too far even while just lying there normally). My foot got a little tingly for a few weeks after that as well. It comes and goes here and there. The one thing I have noticed that reduced the frequency (along with general lower back pain) was quitting drinking altogether. I gave up drinking 5 years ago and I rarely get back pain or sciatica. Drinking causes inflammation, which is bad for any injury.

Gabapentin worked for me. Somewhat worked.

 

 

 

My wife is on 2400 mg of Gabapentin daily from her cancer surgery. Yes, the "climax" side effects does affect both sexes. But she's alive and doing the best she can. 

 

I would agree, get a scan. Get to the root of the problem.

I get it bad a few times a year.  Don't know what causes it to flareup.  I get prednisone and that works great for me.    Ever try that?
