@Merrygreenleaf. Maybe you could also look into a diet . Eating lot of foods that are anti infamatory. Also. I usually use Cow to Cat then to Child and back to talbe. Then into Downward dog. But I also use this Tennis Ball technique.

I've got it in my left leg/side. In the past I would stretch it out and it would go away. I did "cat stretches" where you're on your hands and knees, and you "dip" your back low, then arch it like a cat. It helped alot but I think I need to add some other stretches. Not sure this kind of yoga stretching would help. I use ice on my back for a day or two and then use warmth. I also take anti-inflammatory meds and pain pills when I can't stand the pain anymore.

Especially when you post something related to health and physical conditions in such a forum, please be sure of the consequences of the practice that you are sharing with people. This is absolutely not suggested for a person with back-pin. Never ever try to bend standing up or sitting down, if you have sciatica.

Sciatica is the compression of the sciatic nerve coming out of the L4 or L5 lumbar spinal disc. Its also the degeneration of the joints between the discs.

It happens in heavy falls, heavywieght lifting, car accidents or trauma to the spine.

Surgery is the quick and easy way to releave the pain for ever. But it costs money. And i dont have faith on surgery on the back. Surgery on your spine is very dangerous. A very good effective healthy and natural way, is spinal decompression. Check it out.
