Sciatica Weakness
Sciatica Weakness ProfileWeakness is generally the last symptom to show up during a sciatica pain condition. Pain and tingling are usually the first, sometimes followed by alternating bouts of numbness. As the condition persists, weakness will often set in and make the patient feel as if they can not function to full capacity. Sometimes, the poor individual feels as if they can not even stand up on their own. This is especially true if the weakness is felt in the very lowest area of the back or in the buttocks and hip regions. Weakness is very scary, since it truly makes a person feel as if they have lost control of their own body…Sciatica Weakness ConditionWeakness is associated with most back pain syndromes, but for the wrong reasons. Typically, sciatica is blamed on a pinched nerve in the lower spine, caused by some structural condition, such as a herniated disc or arthritis osteophyte. Although herniated discs and osteoarthritis can create pain in some instances, they are mostly coincidental and innocent spinal scapegoats on which sciatica pain is mistakenly blamed. The most common actual causation of sciatica, and especially chronic sciatica, is oxygen deprivation. This epidemic process is also commonly called ischemia and affects untold numbers of patients suffering from various chronic pain syndromes throughout the body.Sciatica Weakness AdviceI am sure you have some diagnosis which has driven you to treatment for your weakness, pain, tingling and numbness. You are probably reading this because all your sciatica treatments have all failed… some miserably. There is nothing wrong with the treatments you have attempted to cure your pain, IF the diagnosis is indeed correct. BUT, there is the rub…Misdiagnosed sciatica is the main reason for treatment failure. Patients question whether their doctors are using the correct methods to treat their sciatica, but never question the diagnosis of sciatica itself. To me, it seems like questioning the diagnosed source of the pain is far more logical than questioning the effectiveness of perhaps a dozen different treatment options… What do you think? Makes sense, huh? Well, I have a bit more concrete proof than mere speculation… I suffered for 18 years from misdiagnosed back pain which was blamed on degenerative disc disease and 2 herniated discs in my lumbar spine. I was told my sciatica and lower back pain was DEFINITELY due to nerve root compression at L4/L5 and L5/S1. Well, I ran the gauntlet of treatment for those full 18 years but my pain grew progressively worse. It got to the point where I was at my wits end, but my pain was just beginning… Luckily, before I could become another back pain casualty, I found a cure at the eleventh hour. I am now pain free and all my doctors have been utterly silenced. They know they were wrong all along. Most of all, several even realize that they are often wrong when it comes to diagnosing patients with sciatica and general back pain. My question is… 7/2/08 Revised 1/19/10
