How Treating Sciatica Is Easier Than Treating Arthritis
For years I have been suffering from an intermittent chronic back pain. Weeks would go by and I'd be fine - and then suddenly, and for no obvious reason - I'd get an attack. It usually starts with pain in my buttocks and then would spread down one leg. I'd get a "shooting pain" sensation, usually followed by numbness. There have been a couple of times where the pain is so severe that I'm unable to walk - very debilitating! And then, just as abruptly, as it started, the pain would disappear.
The initial diagnosis was early onset of Arthritis in the back. This is evidently a very common condition. Evidently, in the United States alone, 75% of all adults will have back pain at some time - and 10% have back arthritis in any given year. I was prescribed expensive arthritis remedies.
Fortunately, before I purchased the medication, a friend suggested that I might have Sciatica. I had never heard of the condition. Evidently Sciatica is when vertebral discs compressing the Sciatic nerve, which runs down the leg. And as it turns out, the treatment is incredibly simple and effective. It is basically a question of simple lower back stretch movements and using good posture when sitting for extended periods. Visit arthritiscauses-101.com for examples of these treatments.
So next time you are told that you have Back Arthritis, make sure that it is not Sciatica. Because if it is, the treatment is basically free and it will give you 100% relief. You can the avoid those remedies with their high prices and debilitating side affects!
