Sciatica - Questions
I have read all the mail re sciatica and now I am wondering whether this is
what is wrong with me. Please tell me: I have this persistent lame pain in
my right lower back, sometimes it causes a lame feeling going down my right
leg, sometime even so far as around me heel. Is this sciatica?
Then, for the time being while I am waiting to get more order info on the
Zyflamend I have found the following: A powder to be taken twice daily with
the following ingredients per daily serving:
Chondroitin Sulphate: 700mg
Glucosamine: 1000mg
EFA: 1500mg (don’t know what this is)
Rooibos Tea Bio-Extract: 100mg
Alpha Lipoic Acid: 40mg
MSM: 3000mg
Calcium Carbonate: 2000mg (elemental calcium 800mg)
Complete multi vitamins: R200mg
Comple multi minerals: 448mg
Boron: 3000 ug (u should be back to front)
Selenium: 100ug
Do you think this will help with damaged discs and constants aches and
pains?

It sounds like it to me but how about seeing an osteopath or a chiropractor or a
physiotherapist to have it assessed. Then I would recommend you trying advice
from the many many posts on sciatica.
I haven’t really resolved the problem yet but I especially think that Pilates is
good - I find it helps me and my physiotherapist said I had very weak core
muscles from having had 4 C-sections, 4 pregnancies ….weak core muscles are
pretty common in women my age. And the minerals do help. Ann

You can find Glucosamine with MSM in it which Thomas said is ok to take.
Any type of arthritis, osteoporosis, can and will benefit from it, pain wise
and it will rebuild healthy joints. I take it and when I run out I end up
back in pain!
