Case Summary | sciatic pain
| Condition | Back Lower (Lumbar) Herniated Disk |
| Case Description | I messed up my back moving furniture at work one day. I saw about 10 different doctors before they figured out what was going on. Now I have to be extra careful in what I do or I can agitate the pain. Pills only work temporarily then they wear off and you feel like crap wish there was a permanent cure that didn't involve surgery... take Vicodin as needed for pain, combined with muscle relaxers, and ibuprofen, and vitamins. exercise helps to maintain muscle and reduce pain over the long run |
