Can Traction And Methycobal Injections Be Help To Cure Sciatica?
I am 63 years old, 5'10" tall and weigh 90 KGs. I was diagnosed with slip disc four weeks ago and was advised rest and physiotherapy. Latest opinion is that I have sciatica. Traction has been recommended and methycobal injections precribed. Will it help? Mani

Sciatica is due to stretching of Schiatic nerve but the term is used generally for symptoms of limbo sacral radicular pain. Traction will help.inj methycoabal is just vitamin B12 so no use. Instead in voveran will alleviate pain and take tab pregabalin for radicular pain. Also take bed rest, avoid bending forward and lifting heavy weight.Hope my answer will help you. Take care.

HI
Well come to HCM
This is the best line of treatment for the spinal sciatica and for spinal degenerative disease this some time gives excellent result and if this fails then surgery would be option for this, you need to be very careful later on maintain the good posture, and avoid heavy weight lifting, hope this helps.
