  • The sciatic nerve is the largest peripheral nerve in the body, and extends from the lower end of the spinal cord, through the thigh, before dividing just above the knee joint. Time to test your knowledge on the sciatic nerve: khub.me/81kn5
    Oh, are you struggling with learning anatomy? We created the ★ Ultimate Anatomy Study Guide ★ to help you kick some gluteus maximus in any topic. Completely free. Download yours today: khub.me/n5ble
    The sciatic nerve is a large, bilateral nerve which is formed from the anterior and posterior divisions of spinal nerves L4, L5, S1, S2, and S3. It is the largest branch of the lumbosacral plexus.
    The sciatic nerve proper innervates the proximal parts of the hamstring muscles, which are the semitendinosus, semimembranosus and biceps femoris muscles.
    In addition, it also supplies innervation to the ischial component of adductor magnus.
    After the nerve bifurcates, it innervates the long head of biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus and adductor magnus muscles, via the tibial component, and the short head of biceps femoris, through its common peroneal component.
    It's two terminal branches are the tibial and common peroneal nerves, which provide motor and sensory innervation to the leg and foot.

    I had this! Most horrible pain that I have ever endured. For over 4 months I was in excruciating pain. Could not sit stand or sleep. Went to chiropractor. He hurt worse and never helped. For some reasin never went to my Dr for it. Kept thinking it would go away. I was hurting so bad I quit chiropractor after 4 months. One thing left to do. I prayed and cried in pain to God to help rid me of my pain. In about two days I started getting relief from my pain. Took about 2-3 days and I started getting some badly needed sleep and from their on I got better everyday for a complete recovery. I have much to thank God for. That was not the first thing I ask God for Help. He has never let me down. I am a sinner and I beg his forgiveness every day.

    I have had sciatica for 50 years. In both legs but never both at the same time. The pain is extremely intense. I did find a cure about 35 years ago; If I have it in my left leg, I simply lie on my back and place a pillow under my left butt. I lie for about 10-15 minutes . Pain gone. This method works for me on both legs.

    I've broken a few bones in my life but by farrr the worst pain i've ever had was Sciatica..For two solid weeks the only relief was to keep my left knee to my chest, be it sitting or trying to sleep..when i had to move, my left elbow to my left knee was the only way..The pain was relentless...The Dr. said all he could give me was Tylenol, hell i was already self medicating with cod/tylenol threes..they didn't touch the pain..It took six weeks before i could stand almost upright, lost three weeks out of work..It was truly deal with the Devil pain...

      exactly right. If you need real pain killers for real pain and go to the doctor nowdays, you have to saw your own arm off and show it to them. They might give you 10 Codiene #3 for that...or Ibuprofin. I saw a doctor with a broken finger and he was eating Percocet. They don't want to lose that license. Hippocratic oath is gone. IF you have to have pain meds, you gotta get them on the street. Might kill you, but the pain is worse than death.

      When I have a "spell" of Sciatica, I have to do the same thing, pull my knee up against my chest and HOLD IT< and try to STRETCH IT. That brings a little relief when it wakes me up in the night. I usually Start a "spell" by bending over in a hurry to pick somehting up off the ground. The last spell I was trying to pick up a Dog Biscuit the dog dropped. I never touch it, just reached for it. I forget to FAVOR my spine when I bend over is when it "happens". It lasts from a few days to three months. I take hydrocodone and muscle relaxers. The STRETCHES HELP. I have an "Anterolisthesis" I might not have spelled that correctly, but they want to do surgery and FUSE the joint. It is getting worse. I have had it for 30 years. Also have 3 herniated discs. But the STRETCHES can really help. My attacks come after a time of inactivity as a rule, but not always. BB

      If you are a woman, consult a gynecologist. Sciatica and sciatic like nerve pain is also associated with uterine enlargement such as with adenomyosis or with gynecological masses such as fibroids etc. It is worth investigation. If the pain is worse around the menstrual cycle then definitely see a gyn.

    Acute sciatica generally occurs when the periformus nerve in the pelvic area goes into spasm, constricting the sciatic nerve, resulting in pain running down the maximus gluteus, around the knees and down to the feet area. A potent natural anti inflammatory along with magnesium glycinate is very helpful.

I looked all the way down & its gone becouse as i stated in the comment how covering up cures makes doctors & Pharmaceuticals rich. This is why i generally comment only under others comments. The 100 or so topics i care most about are ones which enemies like CCP & NWO don't want us talking about. An amino acid from the vitamin store called DLPA is what we're depleted of so when we damage are sciatic nerve, everytime we move the muscles cramp up on the nerve damaging it further.
      When our government intel agencies want something removed, it takes three days. Talk about covid, it disappears in two hours. So is are Pharmaceutical companies in bed with the CCP, NWO or both.

    I solved my own back problems.
    First, decompress the spine by hanging from a horizontal tree branch( more comfortable to hang from than a skinny metal bar ),
    next, while hanging, flex the spine to and frow by throwing your legs forward into a crunch position, and a little side to side.
    It's important to never let go of the branch while in a position other than straight.
    Second, while standing, place both hands over each other on your stomach, below your navel,
    next, push deep into your stomach with your hands, and while doing so, tilt your hips forward. This will counteract the spines natural arch and might cause your back to crack. A common problem is that this natural arch becomes too arched, causing problems throughout the spine.
    I hope this helps some of you with any back problems you might also have.

      I find rolling into a ball , legs crunched into chest and lightly rocking back and forth over the lower back, compressing it to the floor counteracts the harsh curve - or copping a squat like your gonna do a number 2 outside also counteracts the curvature of my spine znd relieves spasms

      @@c.a.greene8395 Hahaha, that's an interesting method also. However I think the decompression by hanging, in combination with the stretching/flexing, is healthier on the disks between spine bones. I think the overall issue is that these disks get slightly misaligned with the bones of the spine and to put them back in line requires decompression and a little flexing.

      Your head, shoulders and arms are heavier than you think and this weight is supported by your spine in addition to the weight of your torso itself.
      By hanging from the branch you are taking this weight off, and then with the crunch movement, while hanging, that I mentioned you are hopefully putting the disks of your spine back into alignment.

      I have had this problem with swelling in my legs and ankles for years and have developed brown to black spots under the heels of my feet but never knew what to do about it, I was told just recently to do some stretching exercises and was told that it could become more serious but that was all my medical team did, they did not seem to take it seriously and until recently I did not associate it with tingling and the other pain that was going on in the rest of my body and the information did not associate all these conditions as one; there is where education comes in not scattered learning but just what I am reading here associating your condition and then helping you to work toward solving it so you are able to participate in your wellness and know what you are doing, does that make sense? I like knowledge based on fact so that I can better help in maintaining my health.

    As a paraplegic that sits all day, every day, my sciatica is beyond intense and causes me severe discomfort. Sadly, there seems to be nothing I can do to mitigate the discomfort, as stretching, etc., never eliminates my pain, because I sit all day and the sciatic nerve is always being irritated or impinged upon. I'd give anything to get rid of my sciatica, but that's just not going to happen, so I breathe in, breathe out and deal w/ it. smh

    My dad is 89 years old and has suffered from this for 10 years. All they do is tell him to take an Ibuprofin and live with it. No pain med relief at all. He's never drank or smoked in his life...but can't get a damned pain med like Vicodin which would work 3X a day. The pain is killing him. Other than that his body and mind are in great shape. Ever since these lawyers got on the pain killer bandwagon and sued because of kids ripping off their grandmas pain meds, seniors have no relief and the drugs they made were specifically designed for that kind of relief. They don't give a shit. I might have to give him some medical weed gummies, but he hates that shit. I don't like it either. I tried it when I got attacked by a pit bull and almost tore my hand off 2 years ago...they gave me Ibuprofin. I used to be a pretty good golfer, now my right hand is mangled and hurts all the time, even after 5 surgeries.

      I have learned, try laying on a harder surface, with both legs up on a chair seat, or many pillows. It takes the pressure off of the lower back, and also what helps is a frozen bag of veggies, makes the nerve go down in size, might slip out of the place where it's stuck. Good Luck to your grandpop.

Disorder starts in the lumbric spine ... is in the leg ...my foot. All on one side only. Funny that I instictively took measures long time ago. Like using shoe insoles, using lumber support while sitting, runnig up stairs (!!!) massaging with a tennis ball while lying on the floor, massaging with a dry brush, gymnastics ... and a lot of other things.

    How I dealt with my Sciatic Nerve Disability:
    I took a large leather belt, and wrapped it with a tensor bandage in one place producing a knot that I located at my lumbar region, and found once I was able to reach my car from an apartment building, the short drive to the local shopping centre, provided enough motion, that allowed me to stroll through the mall in relative comfort ? my next step was to buy GLUCOSAMINE, a natural body chemical, that lubricates and repairs calcium related joints and damage, the length of time it begins to work seems to be different with each person as our body - blood - and hormone chemistry is a precise individual recipe
    of our unique genome concoction! in my opinion!

(never thought i would be in this position) the only thing that gave me some relief was a chair and a seated position.. i was so close to fainting from the pain and i have a high pain tolerance.. the ambulance picked me up and i took 3 different drips of painkillers and was seated for 7 hours before i could go home and lay down. the pain is now minimal but my toes and shin is numb and i have about 10% of my strength in my toes when pushing up. so strange that my toes seem limp. and i am getting random spasms down my right leg.
