Help! I got severe sciatica and cant get any relief

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

That peptide combo works surprisingly well.
I am taking it currently for some lingering shoulder injuries.
Some people take it a few times a year as an “oil change” type of maintenance for nagging little stuff.

Ive used it plenty of times but like I said didnt know for sciatica

 

[hercules_mcfadden]

Do you run it subq or Im? Local to the injury or trust the systemic approach?

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

I would take sub q and think it is absolutely worth it.

If it provides no relief, I would be no worse than where I started.

Bpc is site specific tb is wherever since I just run them together if I got a specific injury it all goes there

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

BPC is NOT site specific.

It MAY been an additional 20% more effective if administered locally, but that is debatable.

 

[maxxy10]

For tennis elbow I always use as close to the injury as possible thats what all the information I gathered on the bpc but Im sure there always different options

 

[Dirtnasty]

It’s can be used site specific but it also works overall.

Boss I have several lower discs completely degenerated and a herniated one. My toes have curled up and are trying to turn. Had to severe the tendon in one it was so bad. I feel your pain. There is no good answer. My experience has taught me that working all of your stabilizer muscles helps a lot. Physical therapy usually focuses on that. First time I went guy said “ you look strong “ he put me on lat pull down and said “how much can you do?” I did stack. He then put me on a bouncy ball and said “ lift one leg up and just set there” I couldn’t do it at all. Chiropractor helps keep everything straight. I have a theragun massager keeps your muscles relaxed. THE ONE THING that has helped me the most was a true traction table. Pretty much strap you to a table and hook a wench to you a pull you apart. Kinda like torture. It hurts the first time or two but it has gave me relief from that throbbing constant pain going down my legs. It is a process. Not overnight. What did not help was steroid shots, cauterized nerves and so on. I feel like it actually caused instability and weakness

 

[maxxy10]

Whsts your thoughts on an inversion table? I dont know if I have access to a traction table

 

[johnjuanb1]

I bought one. It made my sciatica so bad I was bed ridden in severe pain for a month. I had to crawl on the floor to the refrigerator to eat, and the bathroom to pee. It caused massive inflammation in my spine that pressed against the sciatic nerve. Worst idea ever!

 

[maxxy10]

Ya thats kinda been my experience with it to not to that extreme

I have an inversion table. I think it helps keep your back loose but I wouldn’t try it if you’re hurting. IMO makes it 10x worse. Some chiropractors do traction tables. A buddy says that does help. I never tried it

 

[Outlawthing]

I’m in same boat as @johnjuanb1 inversion makes mine feel like a it’s completely detached from itself very unstable. Any kind of decline sit ups crunches is a big no no for me. I won’t be able to walk if I get on one.

Im about 2 and half weeks into physical therapy and home expenses they got me doing and I actually feel quite a bit better haven’t been to the gym in almost 6 weeks she wants me to stay out a few more to see what happens
