What Ate The Possible Treatments For Sciatica Attack ?
Hello, about 2 weeks ago I had Sciatica, now my leg (Quad muscle) hurts along with my hip sometimes. I even feel pain in my knee every so often. I am thinking and hoping it is just muscle strain since my Quad had spasms during the Sciatica attack

Hi,
If you have problem of having Sciatica, try to find out how much irritation or pressure on nerves due to degenerative changes in spinal vertebrae.
Go for x-ray or Ct scan to find out degree of damage in vertebrae or inter-vertebral discs.
Take some vitamin B1, B6 and B12 capsules or injections.
Go for Back extension exercise daily, morning and evening.
Go for short way diathermy and if require go for lumbar traction if advised by your orthopedic surgeon.
Avoid lifting heavy weight.
Ok and take care.
