Does anyone know a treatment or how long it will take for this to resolve? Do I need physical therapy? I’m experiencing pain when I stand up. Sitting can be uncomfortable too. It started with a lower back issue, which then seemed to turn into sciatica and now whenever I get up from a chair my Gluteus Medius “hip” muscle (it seems that’s the one) spasms or cramps.

Friday, February 26th, 2010I Have A Back Injury Thats Not Muscle Nor Bones Is It Classification For Medical Discharge?
Monday, February 1st, 2010while i had hurt my back just a muscle a couple months before joining the army it was healed and fine. when i was in the army i had hurt it by a pvt running up and throwing me to the ground. my back kept getting hurt from hand on hand combat. both aggravations of my back are documented in the medical bct files and in ait files. when i had got hurt after getting to my station i had went to the base hospital and they did nothing because i refused a profile i just wanted answers. my back swells up alot and gets bruised for no reason, sharp pains run through my back and my legs fall asleep. so anyways now im stuck with a messed up back and i’ve been awol. i’ve been talking to my 1sg and she says she wants to get me into a medical board. with all the information i’ve got bout my back there is no breaks and they dont think its muscles. would they discharge me if its my spine is the problem?
Can Sciatica Cause Muscle Abnormalities?
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Yes, the sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body, it sits in the middle of each butt cheek, several muscles sit directly on top. It can send pain down each leg, separately or together.
Therapeutic Massage can help loosen the grip on the effected muscles.
Yoga, Ti Chi, Chi Gong all good as well for prevention and healing.

What Is The Best Treatment For Sciatica And Muscle Spasms?
Friday, October 23rd, 2009I’m not a doctor, just speaking from experience. Try to get some muscle relaxants and pain medications from your doctor. They won’t cure, only help ease the pain.
Don’t sit for long periods of time without getting up and walking. I do this every 20 minutes. You don’t have to get up for long, just a couple of minutes and walk around a bit. This helps the nerves not be so irritated for me. You may want to get a gel cushion, or something that feels comfortable to you, to sit on at work and home.
You can also try espom salts in a warm tub for twenty minutes. Epsom salts are inexpensive and found at many grocery stores and most drug stores.
You can try trigger point injections, usually done with cortisone. They help relieve the inflammation.
I’ve not found a cure. Sometimes it will settle down for months, then start up again. Not sitting for long periods of time and the injections help me the most.
I’m waiting for even more improvements in technology before I try any type of surgery. They’re always getting better at these things. Good luck, I hope you can find what works for you.
I’ve included a few links below to give you even more information. Hope it helps.
Help Reduce Joint and Muscle Pain
Friday, September 25th, 2009Physical pain is a sensory that you experience and it is an unpleasant feeling caused by bodily harm. Pain is your body’s defense that gives a reaction and painful stimulus. Natural behavior stops you from doing the same painful thing again in a harmful situation. Pain in only based on the person experiencing it. There is different toleration of pain for every person. What one person thinks is the worst pain can be a mere bother to another.
There are two levels of pain, acute pain, which doesn’t require medical treatment. This type of pain only requires rest or over the counter medication to relieve aches and tension. Then there is chronic pain, which does not go away and requires medication and medical attention. This is no longer a symptom, when it becomes ongoing it becomes an illness.
Two specific types of pain are joint pain, and muscle pain, these are very common.
Injury affecting any of the ligaments and tendons surrounding the joint is joint pain. This can also harm your cartilage and bones. Pain is a feature of joint inflammation also known as arthritis.
Joint pain is a serious issue. It makes everyday tasks unmanageable. It almost feels like an endless struggle. There are so many important joints that we take for granite. Hip pain, knee pain, even elbow pain may effect the stiffness and swelling. Just walking, climbing the stairs, bending down or even stand for a long period of time becomes stressful and painful. Millions on people deal with this type of pain everyday. A study shows that about 60 million people suffer from joint paint daily, no matter what field of work. It ranges from body builders all the way to school teachers!
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease; it’s type arthritis specifically on the joint. This is when spurs form onto the joint causing major pain. There is a decrease in lubricant between the cartilages and bones. It is excruciating pain when bone on bone rubs, or bone on cartilage. When there is less protection it demotes your flexibility and movement.
Exercising regularly will help restore muscle tone. You can try walking, riding your bike, or swimming. These are good aerobic activities that will help the aches in time. Also a good idea is a physical therapist. They can teach you how to stretch, tone, and do different aerobic exercises that will make you feel better and be pain-free. Studies show that exercise reduces muscle pain by 25%. Starting slowly is the key and gradually work your way up to your goal, don’t try any heavy aerobic activities or lifting of weights if injured or while in pain.
Make sure to try to get the right amount of sleep and rest, and try to reduce your stress levels. Yoga, light exercise, meditation, and keeping a healthy body are excellent ways to help relive everyday tensions. You can also get temporary relief from pain with Pepper Cream by bell. It relives pain immediately or within minutes. It works by preventing nerves from transmitting pain messages to the brain.
