Sciatica Can Anyone Tell Me The Best Way Of Getting Out Of Bed In The Morning This Is My Most Painful Time?

Friday, January 8th, 2010

I wake up, take my pain meds., lay there until I start feeling better, then drag myself out of bed. Noone understands this pain, unless they have it. (Not even the doctors) On certain pain meds. i would waken up in the middle of the night (cause the meds had wore off) hurting real bad. I finially got on some meds that do not wear off so quickly. Good Luck!

Sciatica. Problems Sleeping To The Point Of Being Unable To Walk In The Morning.?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I had a discecomy 3 years ago. Minor issues since then, but in the last couple of days, I have had major problems. I wake up 3 hours into sleep with extreme pain in my leg to the point of barely being able to get out of bed and walk this morning (had to take baby steps using chair as walker). Just rolling over at night is excruciating. Going to see a doctor, but any advice would be appreciated. I sleep on my side or back with my legs 90 degree angle w/ pillow between or under my legs. Maybe sleeping on the floor would help? I just need to be able to sleep through the night and be able to function in the morning. I am in good physical condition otherwise and stretch twice daily. I have been taking ibuprohen before bed as well as using Tiger balm, a compression bandage and stretching immediately before sleep. Even advice directing me to support groups for this issue would be appreciated as I am at my wits end trying to keep functioning.

What Stretches Can I Do To Stretch Out My Sciatica Nerve In The Morning?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Every morning when I wake up I can hardly walk because of my sciatica nerve. It takes me about 2-3 hours to be able to actually stand up straight in the morning after I wake up. There has to be something I can do in order to excersise this nerve. Any tips or advice would be helpful thank you very much!
