Back Pain From Siatic Nerve And Piriformus Muscle Posted: 10-14-07 11:24am
My body is twisted and I have severe pain
from my siatic nerve down my right leg.
It has gotten better and then will get
worse again. I have tried some exercises
and they seem to help somewhat. How long
can it take to get over this condition?
How long will it take for my body to
straighten out? I have one hip higher
than the other. The side with the pain is
higher than the other.

Hi you seem to be describing ail the
symptoms of mild scoliosis with pelvic
obliquity or acquired leg length
difference most doctors would probably say
this is not much of a problem,
chiropractors and osteopaths deal with
this kind of problem but take your time
and ask around to find a good one. I seem
to suffering from the same kind of
condition i think i know what you mean by
"my body is twisted" when i say this to a
doctor i get a disapproving look.
If there is nothing else wrong with you
and you are in good shape with the right
care you should notice some improvement
fairly quickly.
Good luck.

Go to a manipulative treatment specialist
like rollar64 there succested. Get your
twisted pelvis corrected there.
But unfortunately it is hard to find a
good one...

Pain Down the Leg Posted: 10-22-07 08:36am
Hello 1002,
What you are describing - about the pain
going down your right leg is exactly the
"problem" I had. In addition I started to
have a tingling sensation in my lower
right leg. After an MRI it was determined
that I had a pinched nerve at L4/L5 caused
by a bulging disc that inflammed the
nerve.
I had an epidural injection given by a
skilled PM doctor the end of April and it
did eliminate the inflammation to the
point that aI no longer have pain in my
right leg and the "tingling" sensation
disappeared.
PLEASE, don't let you leg pain continue
without seeking the needed help and
treatament from a skilled and highly
respected doctor.
The treatment recommended by Expatient
will not reduce the inflammatioon that you
most likely have. I say this with due
respect to Expatient. I do agree with
Expatient that finding GOOD doctors/people
to treat you is difficult.
Oh yes, before the epidural injection I
also had PT which helped to a very limited
degree. AFTER the epidural injection my
doctor recommended that I continue with
the PT treatment. He said that the
injection WITH the PT was the best way to
go.
