I have a question about sciatica and pregnancy?
Apr 21st
My friend told me that his wife has sciatica. I know this is not a diagnosis, but rather a set of pains plaguing the sciatic nerve. Anyway, his wife got pregnant and according to my friend she “had to abort” because the doctors told her that it would be between loosing her leg (I guess meaning it would become limp/dead) or giving up the baby. Is this true? Can people with sciatic nerve problems not have children?
What can you tell me about herniated disc surgery?
Nov 19th
Elderly man has been diagnosed with at least 2 herniated discs, he is being sent to see a orthopedic surgeon, what does surgery and normal recovery include? We have been told probably not a candidate for the less invasive newer surgical method. (On top of this he has CHF and is on blood thinner because had clots in lungs).
muscle relaxers for a herniated disc in the upper neck, can you tell me about them ?
Aug 3rd
My son in law is only 31 and has a herniated disc in his upper neck and he is in great pain. He has been told he can use muscle relaxants, are they are by prescription or are there any over the counter meds he can get ? He is seeing a chiropractor who said he could take them, but my son in law isn’t big into taking meds, but I thought if he took them, it might relax his neck and help him recover ? I’ve never had these issues ?
