Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / November 2007At 17?
Sheesh, Had to pick up Mike from school today. Has a badly pinched sciatic nerve. Came on gradually and by mid morning he could barely move. Doc gave him nsaid and musle relaxer,ice, and rest. Mikes already blaming me! Me?!! :-) Did comment he now understands what I go through with my back. Another dark cloud with a silver lining. Be well, be happy, be pain-free, GaryZ Oh man Mike get better quickly. Gary it does start young with some. My boys both have JRA, fms, and CFS it started when they were in their teens. Sorry that you have to deal with this too Dad. I know it hurts to see your children like this.  SignatureLove and Hugs to all Jo the squirrely one I am nuts about you. > Sheesh, > Had to pick up Mike from school today. Has a badly pinched sciatic nerve.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Be well, be happy, be pain-free, > GaryZ Easy on him Gary,,, that sciatic stuff really hurts and it is probably a pain he has never felt before. I remember my dads pain with it when I was a boy. Harv > Sheesh, > Had to pick up Mike from school today. Has a badly pinched sciatic nerve.

I remember my dads pain with it when I was a boy. Harv i was going to say something similar. i'm sorry mike, who is sooo young, has to experience that kind of pain. give him a hug from me, gary. kate >Easy on him Gary,,, that sciatic stuff really hurts and it is probably a >pain he has never felt before.

Joan Gary,I've never had sciatic pain so I don't personally know how bad it is, but I have heard lots of folks say it is very, very painful. So give him lots of sympathy and encouragement from me. Gwen >> Sheesh, >> Had to pick up Mike from school today. Has a badly pinched sciatic nerve. [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > was a boy. > Harv {{{{{{{{{{{{{ Mike }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} Oh, poor Mike! My most sincere sympathies to him. Tell him to do as the doctor says, take it easy and praying he gets to feeling better real soon. Sure hope this doesn't become a chronic issue for him!!! Praying for you, too, Gary, that you can nurse him back to good health and that the lessons he learns from this experience bring you both closer together. Hugs, Donna . . . . 1.) ANGELS EXIST, but some times, since they don't all have wings, we call them FRIENDS...... 2.) Hey MJ, tit for tat, I got your back! 3.) J.K.M.A. No fun indeed. That definitely cramps a teenager's style! I hope it eases up soon. That kind of pain truly takes it out of you. Looking for another silver lining, perhaps this will motivate him to learn good back care practices now and help him avoid future damage. I know it would have taken something dramatic to get my attention back- wise at 17. (And how on earth did he get to be 17? Isn't he actually only about 15?) Nann We had a conversation yesterday about staying active to keep this from recurring. He isn't the most energetic person in the world as far as exercising goes. His x-rays looked ok so I believe they are treating it as spasms. How did ANY of us survive childhood without getting "offed" by our parents?? :-) Actually he won't be 17 'till the 14th of this month. Close enough though. I have not been hard on him for blaming me for his sciatica. He was making a joke as I have done with my parents for my inherited problems. (moms astigmatism, dads arthritis.) Another day off of work. Serious bathroom cleaning today. Can you picture how big a mess two guys and two dogs can make?!!

If I had two dogs instead of one; I don't even want to think about it! Gwen > We had a conversation yesterday about staying active to keep this from > recurring.

I did that too, telling my floks I knew I was their biological kid as I had Mother's allergies and Daddy's RA (when they thought I had RA rather than PA). They weren't ready yet to joke about it, but I think they kneww that was how I meant it. > Another day off of work. Serious bathroom cleaning today. Can you picture > how big a mess two guys and two dogs can make?!! No offense, but I'd rather not! Then again, our hairy feline is shedding his summer coat, to make room for the winter one. I need to remind Mike to vacuum before I return from traveling with my mom the next week. There's already a lot of fur drifting around. I could be so much more oblivious to it if not for the allergies! Nann > Sheesh, > Had to pick up Mike from school today. Has a badly pinched sciatic nerve. [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Be well, be happy, be pain-free, > GaryZ Sorry to hear of this. Hope he feels better soon. I started getting sciatica after falling off a balance beam when I was 14. But don't assume the pain is from disc issues; For me it was from muscle spasms. Once the pain subsides some, specialized stretching programs can ward off recurrences. Adelle |
