Reply To: Sciatica Pain

I dont get actual sciatica pain but have noticed that on days when I overdo it on my feet i will feel the pain elsewhere, knees, lower back etc. I belieive it is due to the weakness in the lower legs, all these other body parts absorb the work and impact that the weaker parts aren’t performing. The cidp is an inflammatory disease as is the sciatica–maybe you have an increase in inflammation. Didnt you recently stop ivig for your cidp? If so maybe that caused an increase in inflammation.
I know people without cidp who suffer from sciatica and they say it is extremely painful. Most of them are on powerful prescription anti-inflammatory pills.
