Unfortunately many people nowadays suffer much from sciatica symptoms. Besides, it may be rather painful. To the best of our knowledge, as the pain is unbearable people treat it in ways not quite understanding that such treatment may bring you harm. The wrong treatment can lead to unpredictable consequences.
So far as we know many people consider surgery the first and the only correct treatment. It would be useful for you to know that it is not quite true. A good doctor would never send you to the surgery except for several extreme cases such as cauda equina syndrome. In this case you would lose a sensation in the inner thighs and lower buttocks, as well loss of control and sudden severe weakness in legs. But there are still some that start surgical treatment from the start without considering any other types of treatment first. According to statistics about 80 % of all sciatica cases may be easily treated without surgery. And according to the other statistic only 50 % of all operations are successful. Even if they are there are always a chance to have scar tissue and other stresses. But the other 50 % are those whose condition after surgery became even worse. So it is highly recommended to address to this type of treatment as to the last one.
There is also a category of people who return to the normal activities too soon. As you may know the sciatica symptoms are mainly caused by herniation and/or bulging of the discs. In many cases it is also followed by inflammation. People think that if the inflammation has gone they are healthy, but you shouldn?t forget that absence of pain doesn?t mean that your discs are back to normal. If it is really so, then too much activity may lead to bed consequences: the symptoms may not only return but become even more severe.
One more mistake both patient and the doctor may do is to consider sciatica as such symptom that may be healed. The problem is that after the treatment you are always coming back to the normal activities. As far as you remember: these activities led to the herniated disc so why shouldn?t it lead to this problem once more? Unfortunately the symptoms are mainly getting worse and severe. In addition it should be mentioned that if the symptoms are gone it doesn?t mean that the sciatica has gone too. You should be aware that the tendency is that with the time the discs and spine, and this mean that the sciatica would come back over and over again. As far as the issue is concerned, the degeneration may become so severe that there will be no effective treatment. That?s why so many people have chronic sciatica.
