Patient's question:
I have a problem with my sciatic nerve, which means the entire line from my waist to my buttocks and legs will be in pain. Sometimes there's no sensation, but then the nerve seems to have a problem again, and the whole line becomes very painful. How can I take care of sciatica?Doctor's answer:
Patients with sciatica are primarily treated by addressing the underlying cause. If there are no particularly significant symptoms, treatment may not be necessary for the time being. Medication-based treatment options can be adopted, such as taking some Chinese herbal medicines that promote blood circulation and unblock meridians, or consuming vitamin B medications, as well as some analgesic antibiotics. If pelvic pain is caused by lumbar disc disease, active treatment of the primary condition should be pursued.
