Severe Back Pain Lower Left Or Right Side - 3 Tips To Help

You are most likely suffering from, what is commonly called

, sciatica if you are experiencing severe back pain on the left or right side that runs down through the buttocks and then runs down the back of the legs.

Following are three things that may help you ease the pain.

1.The initial onslaught of pain is most commonly caused by inflammation due to damage to the sciatic nerve. As with any inflammation, the use of ice can help ease the inflammation so, use an ice pack on the area of the pain. Leave the ice pack on for fifteen to twenty minutes at a time, and repeat every two hours.

2.Sitting, when sciatica is caused by a ruptured or herniated disc, will cause sciatica to worsen so, avoid sitting if possible. Lying on your back with a pillow under the back will make the spine stretch backward, which should ease the pain. You can also lie on your side with a pillow between the knees; this should also help ease pressure on the disc and sciatic nerve helping to ease the pain. You can also use these potions for sleeping.

3.Another thing that can help ease pressure on the sciatic nerve and discs is short walks. It may be painful to walk but it will help relieve the pressure so, walk a few yards in your home then take a short rest. When resting, do not sit instead; lay down using one of the two above positions. The recommended position would lat on the back with a pillow under the back.
