21. Bed Rest For Sciatica Is Just A Waste Of Time A short article on the effectiveness of the most commonly prescibed remedy for treating sciatica. http://www.freep.com/news/health/qhfill23.htm

COLUMNISTS Susan Ager Desiree Cooper Brian Dickerson ... Rochelle Riley SECTIONS Today's stories Metro Wayne Oakland ... Place an ad (none) Bed rest for sciatica is just a waste of time February 23, 1999 Add sciatica to the sorts of back pain that shouldn't keep you in bed. A week or two in bed used to be routine treatment for any sort of aching back. But over the past 15 years, doctors have learned that many types of backaches get better just as fast if people go about their normal activities. Until now, that hadn't been tested with pain from the sciatic nerve pain that's usually limited to the buttocks and thigh but sometimes goes all the way down to the foot. Dr. Patrick C.A.J. Vroomen of Maastricht University Hospital in the Netherlands, where two weeks of bed rest is a common treatment for sciatica, reported his findings in last week's New England Journal of Medicine. Doctors randomly assigned 183 patients either to bed rest or "watchful waiting" getting up and about whenever possible without provoking pain. After two weeks, 70 percent of the 92 patients who got out of bed only to bathe or use the toilet felt better. So did 65 percent of those who were up and about. Within statistical error, those are the same results.

Chronic Pain Functional Numbness and Weakness Pain ... Stiffness and Tightness Choose Language: Deutsch English Español Français Sciatica Sciatica refers to pain that begins in the hip and buttocks and continues all the way down the leg. This condition is often accompanied by low back pain, which can be more or less severe than the leg pain. The term "sciatica" indicates that the sciatic nerve, which travels from the lower back through the buttocks and into the leg, is thought to be the cause of the pain in this condition. True sciatica is a condition that occurs when a herniated lumbar disc compresses one of the contributing roots of the sciatic nerve. This type of low back pain is less common than other causes and conditions that produce back pain . For instance, sporting activities, recreational activities, and heavy labor can cause back and leg pain, which is commonly misdiagnosed as sciatica. The challenge for a physician is to distinguish between radicular pain , which is caused by an inflamed nerve root, and referred pain, which is a result of a musculoskeletal sprain or strain. Symptoms The most common symptom of true sciatica is posterior thigh, lower leg or foot pain that can be much worse than the accompanying lower back pain. Usually a patient will experience moderate to severe pain, which begins in the buttocks and runs down through the leg or foot. It is important to know that true sciatica will produce pain that radiates beyond the knee. Often a patient will have a previous history of lower back pain beginning a few days or weeks before the leg pain occurs, then the leg pain becomes worse than the back pain, and in some cases the back pain will completely disappear.

Patient Notes Sciatica VOL 102 / NO 1 / JULY 1997 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE The sciatic nerves are the largest nerves in the bodyabout as big around as your finger. They start in the lower spine, pass behind the hip joint, and go down the buttock and back of the leg to the foot. Pain from this nerve, called sciatica, may be felt from the hip to the big toe. What causes sciatica? Sometimes the nerve is pinched between vertebrae, or its passageways are narrowed by arthritis or swelling of a sprained ligament in the area, and it becomes irritated and tender. A disk (the cushion between the vertebrae) may bulge out of place and press on the nerve. Rarely, an abscess, blood clot, or growth may push on the nerve. At times, no exact cause is found, but a movement that is normally harmless (such as bending over) suddenly brings on violent pain. Is sciatica different from back pain? Yes, although low back pain often comes with it. Usually, sciatica affects only one side. Pain often radiates down the buttock or leg. It can range from a tingling, burning, pins-and-needles feeling to excruciating, shooting pain that makes standing up nearly impossible. Coughing, sneezing, and sitting make the pain worse. Your leg or foot may be numb or weak and have odd sensations in it. You may be unable to move your foot or bend your knee. What can I do for sciatica?

Back pain is the number one problem facing the workforce in North America today. It is estimated that over 80 billion dollars is spent on back pain each year; and the cost is growing. Eighty percent of the population will suffer back pain at some time in their lives. Most episodes of back pain are self limited, meaning that they will resolve no matter what the treatment is. But, a significant portion of these episodes can become chronic, meaning that they do not resolve and continue to cause pain and dysfunction indefinitely. Back problems often mean a permanent loss of some function, causing you to give up certain things in life you may not be willing to give up. Universal Pain Technology Canada Inc. searches the world for proven medical solutions to provide longlasting relief from the persistent pain and disability associated with chronic back problems.

Sciatica VOL 115 / NO 2 / FEBRUARY 2004 / POSTGRADUATE MEDICINE Download this Patient Note in PDF format (84K file) From time to time, you may notice pain, tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness running down the back of your leg. This common condition, called sciatica, is named after the sciatic nerve. Most people with sciatica improve without treatment within days or weeks. However, in 10% to 25% of people, the pain is so severe that it interferes with daily activities and requires treatment. What is sciatica? It is an irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve, which is the longest nerve in the body, beginning at the spinal cord in the lower back and extending through the buttock and down the legs to the heels. Usually, the pain is felt on only one side of the body. What causes sciatica? It can be caused by sitting for long periods of time, injury, infection, diabetes or, rarely, tumors. It can also result from prolonged pressure on the nerves in your lower back from arthritis or a slipped disk. Disks normally act as shock absorbers for your spine. When a disk slips out of place or ruptures, it can trap the sciatic nerve between the disk and bone. What are the symptoms?

Sciatica is pain resulting from irritation of the sciatic nerve. Sciatica pain is typically felt from the low back to behind the thigh and radiating down below the knee. The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body and begins from nerve roots in the lumbar spinal cord in the low back and extends through the buttock area to send nerve endings down the lower limb. What are causes of sciatica? While sciatica is most commonly a result of a disc herniation directly pressing on the nerve, any cause of irritation or inflammation of this nerve can reproduce the symptoms of sciatica. These cause include irritation of the nerve from adjacent bone, tumors, muscle, internal bleeding, infections, injury, and other causes. How is sciatica treated?

Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR How is the spine designed? What is the purpose of the spine and its discs? What is degenerative disc disease? ... What is bony encroachment? How is the spine designed? The vertebrae are the bony building blocks of the spine. Between each of the largest part of the vertebrae are the discs. Ligaments are situated around the spine and discs. The spine has seven vertebrae in the neck (cervical vertebrae), twelve vertebrae in the mid-back (thoracic vertebrae), and five vertebrae in the low back (lumbar vertebrae). What is the purpose of the spine and its discs? The bony spine is designed so that vertebrae "stacked" together can provide a movable support structure while also protecting the spinal cord (nervous tissue that extends down the spinal column from the brain) from injury. Each vertebrae has a spinous process, which is a bony prominence behind the spinal cord that shields the cord's nerve tissue. The vertebrae also have a strong bony "body" in front of the spinal cord to provide a platform suitable for weight-bearing. The discs are pads that serve as "cushions" between each vertebral body which minimize the impact of movement on the spinal column. Each disc is designed like a jelly donut with a central softer component (nucleus pulposus). This softer component can rupture (herniate) through the surrounding outer ring (annulus fibrosus) and irritate adjacent nervous tissue. Ligaments are strong fibrous soft tissues that firmly attach bones to bones. Ligaments attach each of the vertebrae and surround each of the discs. When ligaments are injured as the disc degenerates, pain in the area affected can result.

Search this site Lumbar support Sciatica / Slipped disc / Prolapsed disc What is sciatica? Sciatica is pain that starts in the back and radiates down one of the legs. It is quite a common complaint. It is caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve which runs down into the leg. The cause of pressure can be varied from a Slipped (Prolapsed) disk to muscle tension ( Piriformis syndrome ) or something less common such as a tumours, bony growths and infections. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is pinched will determine where you feel the pain which can radiate to the front of the knee or right down the back of the leg to the foot. On the illustration opposite, L4 and L5 are the bottom two Lumbar vertibrae at the base of the spine. S1 is the top of the Sacrum. What can you do about it?
