Top 5 Ways to Eliminate Sciatica/It's Not What You Think! 

Rest has been crucial for me. Especially when the nerve is hot. It’s tricky though because you can’t go from rest to no rest but you have to taper it off slowly. Ice works great too. I’ve tried to ice more often but it doesn’t do much. Best to do 5 minutes once/hour as you said & then don’t stop but again taper off. So grateful to have a formula for healing ♥️

Everything you say has been my personal experience. You’re the best internet PT!

She's right: "...stop stretching your sciatic nerve" unless you like the overnight ('mystery') inflamation.

My pain is from right low back to front and side of leg,, but mostly front of right leg. What do you do for that?

My pain is not exactly as you describe for sciatica; mine goes down the butt; really bad, to the sides of the thigh & calf; both legs but worse on one. Mine hurts when I touch it. So painful I cannot walk correctly

I stretched the figure4 while sitting down and it just killed my buttocks and my sciatic

Hi! Where should the ice be put on the back, the lumbar area or on the place of pain, on the back of the leg?

I found your videos by searching sciatica and looking for possible relief. I was impressed that you don't give recipes but explain the science behind what you're talking about and building a context for your suggestions. I started with the things not to do first. I had been using heat and had exactly the response you described. Very quick relief followed a short while later by even more intense pain. I went back and started going through the sciatica series. One of the first exercises was the slump and lift of leg. I haven't stretched as much as I should so there was some discomfort from stretching. However, I don't think I have sciatica. Lower back pain is on the right side and pain will radiate to my right leg but the intensity of pain is in the front of my leg and around the knee cap, not the back. Any suggestions on where I should look for behavioral solutions? A lifetime ago I was a massage therapist which is like a PT (very) light. Your information has been in sync with what I remember and the simple changes of going to ice rather than heat and then making sure movements are as natural as possible have given me real relief. Thanks!

I recently had an MRI, and was diagnosed with sciatica. However my pain is in the front and outside of the left thigh,and it is excruciating upon standing up. I cannot stand without pushing myself up with my arms and having to hold on to something. Once I take a few painful steps it eases somewhat. This has been ongoing for at least a year. I’m doing the exercises, and I do cardio in the pool at the ymca three times a week. Once I’m in the pool and moving around there is no pain until I have to climb the ladder to get out of the pool. I avoid stairs as much as possible. My fear is falling. At my age (68) that is very scary. Any advice?
