How Do You Relieve Sciatic Pain? My Story

How do you know if you are experiencing sciatica pain? Well, sciatica is an irritation of certain nerve roots, an irritation that leads to pain, tingling, or numbness in the back and perhaps in the buttocks, back of the leg. ankle, and/or foot. These nerve roots are those attached to the sciatic nerve, which is formed by the nerve roots that extend out of the spinal cord and into the lower back. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body.

Sciatica is typically caused by a bulging or herniated (ruptured) disc in the spine pressing, which is putting pressure on the nerve roots that lead to the sciatic nerve. Other causes of sciatica can be a narrowing of the spinal canal (spinal stenosis), arthritis-caused bone spurs, or a pinched nerve caused by injury. Although this is rare, sciatica might also be caused by conditions like tumors or pregnancy, conditions that don’t have anything to do the spine.

How might you know if you are experiencing sciatica? If you experience pain that starts in your back or buttocks and extends down your leg and, possibly, moves into your foot, you probably have sciatica. Numbness, weakness, or tingling in your leg could also be a sign of sciatica.

Sitting or standing for extended periods or flexing your spine can make sciatica worse. Lying down, walking, and spine extension exercises and movements (like shoulder lifts and things like that) might help you to mitigate sciatica pain.

If you do feel that you may have sciatica, don’t take it lightly. This can cause you immense pain. Go see your doctor. You might need to get an MRI in order to make a definitive diagnosis.

However, it’s usually the case that sciatica will eventually fade. provided that you recognize you have it and take steps to prevent it from becoming further aggravated. In the beginning, you’ll want to do things to relieve the terrible pain. What might you do along those lines?

  • Sit for as short a period of time as possible. Since standing could also be impractical or also painful. Lie down flat on your back as much as you possibly can (unless standing seems to be okay). You might have to take a couple of weeks off from work.
  • Get in as much walking as you can, too. This will stimulate blood flow and speed up healing.
  • Over-the-counter medications: Acetaminophen, Aspirin (Avoiding aspirin in kids 18 age or younger), and NSAIDs (ibuprofen). Relive muscle spasms by muscle relaxants. Source
  • Minimize or avoid alcohol and caffeine during this time because these could encourage inflammation. Minimize or avoid smoking, too, for it diminishes blood supply and retards healing.
  • Put Icy Hot on your pained areas, or alternate heating pads and ice for 15 minutes at a time. Do this for three sessions a day. Taking a 10-minute hot shower every three hours or so can also help relieve sciatica pain.

My Story

I finally put an end to all the misery that comes with sciatica pain, thanks to this Nepalese secret!

Hi, I’m Austin; I’m a 45 year old accountant living in a small town in Kentucky.

Ever since my late 30’s, I struggled with sciatica. BADLY. It was sort of manageable in the beginning, but the pain kept getting worse over the years until I could no longer deal with it.

Picture a middle-aged guy, who’s married, has 2 kids, loves sports, yet he can’t even lift grocery shopping. That was me.

All I wanted to do was to look after my family, be a good dad for my kids and support my wife with everyday chores like any husband should do.

No matter what I tried, nothing seemed to work. Getting rid of sciatica felt like an impossible challenge.

I tried everything you can think of – where I:

  • Kept taking pain medications prescribed by my doctor.
  • Tried various stretching exercises, yoga, and physiotherapy.
  • Spent hundreds of dollars on chiropractic sessions that were “supposed to” fix my sciatica.

However, all of those things only provided temporary pain relief and none of them were good for the long-term.

I felt ok when I took the painkillers, yet I knew that it wouldn’t last and it was a never-ending cycle. I wanted to change something but had no idea what else I could do.

After a while, I finally gave up.

I decided that I’ll have to live with sciatica for the rest of my life and there’s nothing I can do about it. At the end of the day, I tried everything I could think of.

…until a random visit to the gym changed everything.

It was a Sunday morning.

10:47 AM, I was just finishing up breakfast when I got a text message on my phone.

To my surprise, it was my buddy, Jack.

He always texts me when he wants to go for a workout in his fancy gym club. And when I say “a workout”, I mean a short run on the treadmill. We both have sciatica, so that’s the most we can handle, and I thought, why not? 🙂

This was interesting. So I’m making my way to the treadmills area, passing by the free-weights section to meet Jack… when I see a small group of guys oohing and aahing near the squat rack…

I can’t see who’s causing all this noise, but as I walk closer there I see a bar packed with plates – must’ve been at least 4 plates on each side.

Wow.

I think: Gotta be a pro bodybuilder lifting some serious weight to show off.

So I move my way into the mix, trying to get to the front. This was very unusual – normally I don’t get involved with weights, but all these guys crammed around one person, I had to see who it was.

And when I get a look at who’s in the center of the crowd… I start laughing.

It’s my friend Jack.

Well, guess what? When Jack squatted down… everyone went silent… and he sprang back up.

Oh. My. God.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when he lifted all that weight (400 lbs) like it was a piece of cake. The same guy who struggled to carry a bag of oranges a few months ago…

Four hundred pounds.

I had to know Jack’s secret.

Turns out Jack recently completed a sciatica treatment program.

And boy, did he have the results to show for it.

He laughed when I told him about the times when he couldn’t lift the empty bar because his sciatica would kick in.

“I remember that too…” he began.

“But those days are gone…” he continued, “I feel like I’m back in my twenties again.”

Turns out the guy who runs the treatment program, Glen, has already helped quite a few people who had sciatica and is actually very well known for what he does.

Glen happened to be at the club that day and he sees me shortly after to offer some advice.

He goes on to explain that most of his clients had the same problem I was having – and how I was damaging my health by taking these pain medications, only to get temporary relief.

Then he said that “Most sciatica sufferers think that painkillers help to cure sciatica… (which is absolute nonsense)… or think that chiropractic adjustments will eventually produce results… but this isn’t true.”

“You see, if you speak to anyone who cured sciatica, they’ll tell you that conventional medications had NOTHING to do with their recovery.”

Glen grabbed a pen and paper and continued to explain his weird Nepalese secret, outlining exactly what to do and what 3 things I needed to fix my sciatica for good.

“Once you do these 3 things, you’ll get rid of sciatica in 7 days… possibly sooner” he said.

“And it’ll help to strengthen your core. Plus, you could start lifting heavy weights in a few months time, like Jack.” He continued, “If you commit yourself, there’s no reason why this shouldn’t work.”

I mean… I didn’t care about lifting heavy weights, I just wanted to stop the sciatica pain and get on with my life.

Of course, I was very skeptical and thought he was crazy.

Permanently cure sciatica?

In 7 days?

That would be AMAZING.

I just remember thinking “this seems far too easy.”

But I was desperate and ready to try anything.

Plus, if he helped my friend Jack to fix his sciatica, then it’s obvious he MUST know what he’s talking about.

I had nothing to lose.

I immediately began following Glen’s treatment program and followed the other surprisingly simple steps he’d shared with me the day before.

Since I took Glen’s advice, here are the SHOCKING results I experienced that I consider a true miracle for me:

  1. The sharp-shooting pain in my legs was gone after just 7 days. Now I could run on the treadmill for at least 30 minutes, instead of 5-10 minutes I used to. It was unbelievable and I couldn’t be happier!
  2. I can easily carry heavy shopping bags without having to worry about sciatica. Now I can help my wife out with all the heavy lifting, so I’m no longer a burden on my family.
  3. My lower back pain has disappeared (which I’ve had for the last 6 years). I used to dread going out to play football with my boys, because of the pain in my lower back… well since I’ve completed the program, the pain has disappeared, which was totally unexpected.
  4. I just turned 45 and I feel more energetic than I ever did in my 30’s. I’m having a great time with my family, which was previously impossible due to my constant sciatica strikes.

And I couldn’t be any happier with the results.

Since then, something else remarkable has happened and it’s the main reason I’m sat at my desk writing this letter now.

Glen is an awesome person who is not only a brilliant teacher but also a real man with a big heart. My life and the lives of so many others he’s worked with have been changed so much by Glen’s breakthrough discovery that we encouraged him to share his secret with sciatica sufferers worldwide.

Now Glen has made it his personal mission in life to share his method with everyone who has sciatica.

So I can definitely recommend this exceptional Nepalese secret for anyone who suffers from sciatic nerve pain. Don’t hesitate to watch his video.

If you’ve been struggling with sciatica and have tried everything, but nothing worked, then you owe it to yourself to watch Glen’s presentation which you can find right here.

Turn up your speakers and click the play button to watch now.

I really hope it has even a fraction of the impact on your health that it has had on mine because the information you’re about to learn has changed my life forever.

    I just found out that I have this sciatica. The pain is the worst in the morning, if I try to get out of bed to fast, I will scream! So I must tack it easy and get to the shower, and have hot water spray on my back for awhile. I looked up the sciatica pain causes, and I had most of them.

      Yes, some people experience the pain in the stomach area (Sciatic nerve runs from the low-back area down the legs).
      Abdominal pain usually occurs in the part of the trunk below the ribs and above the pelvis and the groin. People with abdominal pain feel nauseated or dizziness and avoid food and water.

    Tylenol is NOT an anti inflammatory. It is a painkiller with no therapeutic benefit. Tylenol should never be used for extended pain management, as it is destructive to the liver. please amend this article
