Saitica / Sciatica ? Its Cure ? Posted: 03-19-05 10:03am
I am a computer professional, from mumbai,
india.
First of all is there anything called
saitica or its just sciatica ?
If both are different then what does each
of it mean & what is its cure.
Currently a female is having pain at the
thighs on the backside.
When approached to the doctor, it was
suggested that it is saitica.
The doctor tells that there is no perfect
cure for it.
I am in a fix ???? How should I proceed.

Sciatica Posted: 03-28-05 11:44am
From what I understand the sciatic is a
nerve that runs from your hip down the
leg, when the nerve is pinched this is
called sciatica. In the past I
experienced chronic problems with my
sciatic nerve, which oddly enough have
ceased with the birth of my last child in
2000. While having problems I was sent
to physical therapy(which at times helped,
but at other times seemed to worsen the
pain) and told to take anti-inflammatory
medication (ie: advil) as needed.
