siatic vain

Its so painful after standing, sitting or laying on bed for a long time, pain on my both hips and thighs till foot. I was having back pain a couple of years back. The last two years I have undergone Kalari Marma Chikilsa, a traditional form of Physio therapy - massage the body after puting oil with the legs. but it seems not effective for this bcoz the vain which is hving pain comes under the musscles.
I works as a Multimedia Professional, use to sit long hours in front of Computer, and use to travel 6-8 hours 4-5 times countineously within a month, this is effecting badly. am 37yrs old married 163cms of ht and 73 kg wt. trying to eat very less, but weight is not coming down, started  to walk 2 hours daily

Hello,
My husband had been having sciatia for years. He'd come home from work and must get off his feet. Driving, sitting -everything bothered him. Then, he decided to see an acupuncturist and believe it or not after three sessions with a top notch well educated acupuncturist, his pain is all gone!  It's a miracle. He is 69 years old.
He had been to a spinal doctor for an evaluation and was told surgery wasn't his answer.
He had had previous lumbar surgery with good results in 2000. The sciatica was the only thing lingering. Now, he is a new person!
Good luck!

Hi,
    How are you? Sciatica means that a patients sciatic nerve is being compressed by another spinal structure, usually causing pain in the low back, on one side of the rear and/or down the back of the leg. Sciatic nerve irritation usually occurs at the L5 or S1 level of the spine.
The clinical diagnosis ( and the focus for treatment) would be whatever problem is actually causing the nerve compression and the sciatic pain. The most common low back problems that cause sciatica are lumbar spinal stenosis, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar subluxation, lumbar disc degenerative disease. An MRI of the spine may help in making diagnosis.
Apart from sciatica the other causes which could have caused the pain are bursitis, groin pull, pulled hamstring or piriformis syndrome.
In case it is a proven diagnosis of sciatica the treatment depends on the cause and it could be in the form of physiotherapy, lumbar fusion, microdisectomy etc.
I would suggest to take the opinion of an expert.
All the best.
