Suggest Treatment For Inflamed Sciatica With Lumps
I Have l4 & l5 inflammation with sciatica. I have been dealing with pain for a year and a half. I woke up a few nights ago in excruciating pain. Found a lump on the left side of l4. I have been taking baclofen and 8 aspirins day along with the use of a tens unit. The lump has not decreased in size smaller nor has the pain been alleviated.
After going through your query I think You are suffering from lumbar disc prolapse with sciatica.There are two treatment options.First option is Rest in position of relief(generally lateral position with both knee bend),NUROKIND GOLD ONCE DAILY and analgesics (Diclofenac three times a day after meals is effective). Sometimes strong analgesic(such as ultracet three times a day after meals) is required. OMEPRAZOLE before meals prevent acidity caused by analgesics . This method needs patience as it take longer treatment times sometimes up to 6 months.Second option is go for surgical operation (Discectomy). You can discuss with your treating surgeon.I think your query answered.Welcome to any follow up query
