It is a kind of pain due to compression and irritability in one of the five spinal nerve roots which gives rise to every sciatic nerve that causes muscular weakness, numbness of the bottom part of the back, and even some parts of the legs and as well as the feet since it is all connected to the buttock.

If you don’t want to suffer anymore from this kind of pain, what you can actually do is to follow these steps to ease the pain.

First, one of the best remedies that you can do is to get some ice, put it in the pack and then place it on the affected area for at least fifteen to twenty minutes that you can do once every two hours for the whole day or two to make it more effective. The purpose of this procedure is to lessen the inflammation. Don’t use hot compress cause it will only make the pain more worst.

Second, try not to take a sit for it will directly hit and compress the spine. Just lie down on a flat surface (not totally hard) with a soft pillow to be placed under your lower back for the spine to be stretch backwards. It will help lessen the pressure on your lower back. Another position that you can do is to lie down on your side, and then put the pillow between your legs. As you notice, this is also one of the position that you are doing while sleeping.

Third, the final tip that you can do is to have some short walks. It will help decrease the spinal compression. After doing this, take rests and make sure not to sit but instead, you better lie down.
