Sciatica Leg Pain
Sciatica Leg Pain ConditionSciatica leg symptoms are typically blamed on some spinal scapegoat abnormality. The theory is that some condition, such as a herniated disc or osteoarthritic process, is compressing a spinal nerve root, sending pain into the bodily area served by that neurological structure. While this certainly can occur and does in some instances, these conditions are grossly over diagnosed. In fact, as many as 90% of chronic back pain patients have been misdiagnosed. Most of the degenerative changes in the spine are completely harmless, normal and expected parts of the aging process. Additionally, most physical injuries will heal, either on their own or with appropriate medical treatment. Typical injury and degeneration are not normally the actual sources of any long term back pain syndrome.Sciatica Leg Pain and IschemiaLeg pain can be dull or sharp, acute or chronic, wide spread or localized. Some patients experience a regular pattern of pain and related symptoms, while other patients must suffer with pain which changes constantly. Pain which is due to a structural cause in the spine should follow a particular pattern, as far as location and consistency. Pain which morphs constantly into some new symptomatic expression, or varies in location, is rarely caused by a physical structural concern. Rather, this type of sciatica is almost always the result of simple ischemia of the nerve and surrounding muscular tissue. Of course, sciatica with regular patterned pain can also be the result of ischemia as well…Sciatica Leg Pain AdviceEnduring the limitations and suffering of leg pain can be a real hardship for any affected individual. If there is lower back pain present as well, the situation is even more grave. Lower back and leg pain is a debilitating condition which prevents a person from working, playing or enjoying a full life. Some unfortunate patients are relegated to bed, since their pain has literally disabled them. Sciatica has a well deserved reputation as a disorder which laughs in the face of medical treatment. The majority of chronic pain sufferers have tried numerous medical and complementary treatment modalities without success.The common misconception about why sciatica is so difficult to cure is that there is some situation in the spine which has caused permanent damage. Something is injured, degenerated, collapsed, herniated, prolapsed or simply “all messed up”… However, the reality is usually the complete opposite. Sure, there are changes which occur in your spine, and mine, due to injury and degeneration. However, these changes are normal. They are not inherently painful, but have been targeted as scapegoats on which long term back pain is typically blamed. Learn the facts about spinal injury and degeneration before entering treatment for any sciatic nerve pain condition. Most of all, learn the facts about sciatica. You will see that the one and only reason that most sciatica pain syndromes are so treatment resistant is because they are commonly misdiagnosed. Remember, a sciatica treatment directed at a mistaken causation has NO HOPE at all of being effective. Discover the real reason for the pain and the cure will be easily enacted… 7/24/08 Revised 12/13/09
