Morning SciaticaMorning sciatica is a somewhat common symptomatic expression, mostly experienced by patients suffering from back and leg pain due to regional ischemia. It is rare for structurally induced sciatica to present its worst symptoms in the morning, since most structural conditions are relieved after a restful night’s sleep.
As previously mentioned,
oxygen deprivation
is the most common source of
chronic sciatica
symptoms. When we sleep or recline to rest, ischemia in the lower body is generally aggravated, since the lower limbs receive even less blood when supine, prone or fetal. Elevating the legs is sure to reduce circulation and therefore, oxygenation, which will escalate a pre-existing ischemia condition, enacting
sciatica pain
in the lower back, buttocks, legs and feet. It is possible for a structurally induced pain syndrome to occasionally be worse after sleeping in a strange position, but chronic morning pain is almost unheard of for spinal causations.
If you have been suffering with
sciatica
in the morning for some time and have not considered the possibility that your pain is ischemic, now is the time to start… Your doctor might not have discussed this possibility with you, since most oxygen deprivation pain syndromes are linked to a
psychosomatic
source. This is unfamiliar territory for most physicians and actually goes against the generally Cartesian philosophy exemplified by today’s healthcare industry.The cure for most ischemia conditions is easy to enact using knowledge therapy. This is the same therapy option that I used to cure my own back pain and is typically the only treatment most patients with chronic symptoms ever need to find lasting sciatica relief. Morning Sciatica AdviceThink logically. Rest is a time for the body to heal and recuperate. This has been a human reality since the dawn of our species and actually holds true for every other living thing on Earth… There is no reason why sleep or lying down should aggravate a structural pain condition in the vast majority of diagnosed patients. Nevertheless, this type of pain occurs often and has most affected individuals running out to buy a new mattress, pillow or gadget to help them wake up refreshed, instead of suffering. I have found that these products might be a creature comfort, but are hardly ever the cure for any type of nighttime or morning pain. Instead, I urge you to look to a deeper and less obvious source… the subconscious mind.Remember that when we sleep, the subconscious takes over and has its way with us. It is common for nightmarish dreams to bring on sciatica symptoms, even if we do not remember the dream when we awake. It is also true that most chronic pain conditions are sourced in the subconscious and exist simply to occupy the resources of our conscious mind, in an effort to prevent conscious recognition of repressed troublesome emotional issues. If your pain comes on strong after what should be a restful night’s sleep, I urge you to consider knowledge therapy as your new treatment of choice… Morning Sciatica to Sciatica 1/20/09 Revised 7/22/11 |
