Severe Sciatic cramp after childbirth?? What to do?
I just had my daughter on monday and the morning after i have her i had severe sciatic pain and it hurts really bleak and its even harder that i have a child that i can't take attention of properly does anybody know how long it takes for it to heal and anything to oblige take away the pain
Answer: I developed a bulging disc between lumbar 4 and 5 by running too much on the jog trail. I'll tell you what I did. You'll have to resolve what is applicable in your case. (By the passageway, congratulations on your new daughter!)
1) My chiropractor recommended taking daily doses of 100 mg. of Vitamin B6. It strenghthens nerves. I notice an improvement in 4 to 6 weeks.
2) Aleve is a angelic NSAID medication that is sold over the counter.
The doctor can prescribe a stronger form of the drug in the heading Naproxen. The doctor can also prescribe Tramadol which is a narcotic and good pain reliever.
3) The lunge exercise is right for sciatic conditions.
An example is at the bottom of this site:

4) I bought the Teeter inversion table. You can invert yourself partially
or completely for spine decompression. It feels great.
It costs a few hundred but I resembling it.

5) Back ice packs (they connect next to velcro) you can buy them at most pharmacies

6) I purchased the Rebuilder 2407 Electronic Stimulator (information at the site below). This product was intended for a variety of ailments including courage damage due to diabetes but I found it helpful when the electrical attachments are placed slightly to the right and disappeared of the spine where the bulging disk occurs. In my travel case,
just slightly lower than waist level to the right and gone of the spine.
They want $699 for this, so it's something to consider even though it's a little expensive. I bought the more expensive model since it had the AC adapter associated near it rather than just the freestyle (and so it supplies more power)

Why is your GYN/OB or General MD not addressing this problem, unless you had this tot at home with no professional help your Dr. should be helping you near this. If you plan on paying him or her you need to ask for some help, they are individual paid for this and are obligated to tell you what is going on and if they do not know they should be running some test and taking some x-rays. Good Luck.
