Sciatic Nerve Pain Rehab – Inflamed Sciatic Nerve
THIS HURTS! What hurts…: left side of my back which i presume is my sciatica nerve, if i sit too much then the pain goes down my left thigh and sometimes down into my left shin or area below my knee. How you hurt it…: don’t really know other than maybe lifting cans at work and it was easing until i did some gardening and then it got worse. When you hurt it…: probably four or five monthsago. Your pain level (1 is low, 10 is high pain): varies between 2 and 8. Your age and overall health…: 62 and overweight. Any other information you feel is relevant…: eases when on my feet and walking around. YOUR INJURY COULD BE… Inflamed Sciatic Nerve. REHAB YOUR INJURY BY… Controlling Inflammation Around Nerve by Icing: Lay side-lined with the painful side up. Place a pillow between your knees for comfort. Place ice pack on painful region for 15 minutes, 2 to 3 times per day with at least one hour in-between. One Knee-To-Chest: Bring one knee to your check and hold for 15 seconds. Switch to other knee until you have completed this 3 times on each leg. These exercises should not bring about pain, stop if they do. Both Knees-To-Chest: Bring both knees to your chest together holding them there for 15 seconds. Repeat this exercise 3 times. Nerve Glide: While on your back, bend your knees. Lift one knee up, while holding the back with your hands or band and pump your knee into and out of the pain. Repeat this exercise 10 times on both knees. Can’t find any recent video’s that …

Interesting that the cause of the sciatica is nerve impingement as discussed here. Yet this is an effect, not a cause…if the cause is not properly addressed this is all prophylactic

why do you pump into the pain? i thought you were supposed to avoid causing yourself pain during any exercising.

I have had this pinched nerve for over two years, when i was only 17 and this pain is super painful (sometimes causing me to walk like my almost 80 year-old grandma). I hope to God these exercises will relief me of all the pain.
Thanks for sharing.

@debgale1 Yeah, they’re great! It may depend on the reason for your sciatica though. My pain was caused by a torn piraformis muscle which swelled and clamped my sciatic nerve so the TENS really loosened up those muscles and gave me huge relief.

This is dope, I’m only 24 and I damaged my sciatic nerve (according to the Doctor at the hospital, who only looked at me for like 30 seconds) on Friday. I’d been sat cross-legged for a couple of hours playing video games. The pain started from my ass down the back of my right leg, down to the knee (no further). I’ve been resting up and it’s gotten better, but these exercises are great. Thanks.

Sweet. I know I have this problem. It’s hell. I haven’t been able to sleep in, I always wake up with pinching and fire like pain on my left thigh. I hate it.

Thank you.
I don’t know if you have ever actually had this pain but it can be extremely intense…debilitating I would say.
You helped me.

I have this problem. It got worse after I was hit by a car. It only happens when I stand in place for a long time or when I am walking without something on my back. Pilates seem to help it.
