Help With Multiple Symptoms Including Sciatica, Extreme Gas, Food Allergies, Cold Hands, Pain In Left Hand.?
Help, my mom has gone downhill in the last 5 yrs. She gets things that regular docs can’t fix. She has sciatica that has gotten really strange. First she gets pain on the top of her left hand, then her hands get cold, then her whole body, then she gets extreme gas pains in abdomen and lastly it becomes sciatica. She gets this either from doing too much or from eating foods she has become allergic to. One by one she has become allergic to all veges, pork, fish and a few more. She lives in Lyons, IL which her doc says is full of bad industry including a sight that is toxic with aluminum. I could give more info but afraid to bombard with info. Please ask if you have further questions. She is at the end of her rope. Thanks so much.

Can Sciatica Cause One Leg To Be Cold?
The term sciatica is commonly used to describe pain traveling in the distribution of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica is a symptom caused by a disorder occurring in the lumbar spine. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the human body, about the diameter of a finger
Sciatica Symptoms
Usually sciatica affects one side of the body. The pain may be dull, sharp, burning, or accompanied by intermittent shocks of shooting pain beginning in the buttock traveling downward into the back or side of the thigh and/or leg. Sciatica then extends below the knee and may be felt in the feet. Sometimes symptoms include tingling and numbness. Sitting and trying to stand up may be painful and difficult. Coughing and sneezing can intensify the pain.
The Cause: Nerve Compression
Compression of the sciatic nerve can cause any of the above-cited symptoms. Rarely is nerve damage permanent and paralysis is seldom a danger as the spinal cord ends before the first lumbar vertebra. However, increasing trunk or leg weakness, or bladder and/or bowel incontinence is an indication of Cauda Equina Syndrome, a serious disorder requiring emergency treatment.
