I have a cheap cure for Sciatica pain. This may not work for everyone but the answers and cures out there are horrible. I first got it over 10 years ago due to a lot of driving with my wallet in my back pocket. Now keep it in my front pocket. BUT HERE IS THE NEWS. It came back about 8 months ago. it was like clockwork, 1 bad week, 3 good weeks. When bad there was no sleep. The only thing that worked was to lay on a couch with the bad leg slightly bent against the back of the couch. No medication helped. My doctor told me I had arthritis under the knee cap. This is after telling him the pain started in by butt and traveled down my leg and ended up in my knee. Schelduled an appointment with a knee specialist. 1 week before the visit someone told me about an inversion table. Talked to my Chiro who I have been seeing for 10 years for back tune-ups and she said that those tables are good. Surprised to hear she would say that. Was going to borrow a table from a friend but decided they have to help no matter what the problem is, so I went out and bought one. After 5 months of using the table 3 times a day for 2 minutes each I have not had any knee pain at all. Plus after my last chiro appointment, my doctor said that everything in my back was alligned perfectly. No need to go back to the chiro anymore. This may not work for everyone but it's worth checking out. If you search the internet there are lot of cases where people schelduled back surgery but tried a table before and ended up not having the surgery. TIP: There are some cheap ones out there for around a $100.00, I paid $300.00 for a top of the line. Use it daily. You only have to lay back at 60 degrees for the correct benefit. Attn: moderator, try to get this message out so people can see it. Thanks!!!!

Pptrsha,

There are various causes of sciatica and an inversion table may or may not help.

One can buy an adequate inversion table on ebay for about $100 (incl. shipping).
C4-T4 Scoliosis (disk degeneration, stenosis, narrowed neuroforamen, bone spurs), RT hip and SI joint damage from car accident in 2004. Also, supraventricular tacycardia and mitral valve prolapse.
Time Release: Tramadol ER 300mg. Lidoderm Patches. For BT: 7.5mg Hydrocodone. Sleep: .25-.5mg xanax. Verapamil 240mg SR (for tachycardia).
