Sciatic Nerve And ED, How Can I Fix It ?
hi, I always had trouble with my back but about a year ago I pinched some nerves , went to the chiropracter and they told me that it is a pinched sciatic nerve , the situation got worse since my left leg now feels like it fell asleep, and feels numb to the touch, about the same time when this started to happen I began experiencing ED, can these to things be related and is there anything that can be done to fix it ?

Hi,
Thanks for query,
You have not mentioned your age.If you are elderly then chances of having lumbo sacral spondilitis or degenerative changes in your spinal cord giving sciatic pain and if lower lumber or sacrum is affected you may have problem of ED.
Go for blood sugar as Ed may be due to diabetes.
Go for X ray lumbo sacral region.
Consult orthopedic and seek advice,
Ok and bye.
