How can I lose 20lbs when I have sciatica? Are there any exercises that I can do safely?
May 7th
I know that I should cut down my caloric intake, especially since I have been less active lately because of the pain. Also, I work 2 jobs, one is in an office during the day that the other is waiting tables at night time. I find the serving job to be stressful for my back, but I do move around a lot. What can be done in addition to this? Also, I eat pretty healthy already. No fast food (EVER!!!), no fried stuff, lots of veggies and fruit. I just want to know what I can do in addition to these things, yet not hurt my back and leg.
Is there research towards pineapple enzyme treatment for herniated disc/sciatica?
May 2nd
I have a herniated L5 disc that is pinching my S1 Sciatic nerve. I do not want surgery and recently heard about someone having pineapple enzyme injections into the disc or spin. This persn indicated that it was a great relief. I can not find much research on the treatment. Where can I look. I have already under gone an epidural injection and for the most part pain is gone. With the exception of sitting long periods. I don’t want surgery. Any ideas?
