In the past 2 yrs I've kept Benfotiamine in the house and any time the sciatic nerve acts up, it's the first thing I reach for. It's a form of B-1 used by diabetics for thier diabetic neuropathy, and it's fat soluble. Works wonders for sciatica! Of course, till the flare up dies down, I also use a heating pad, Advil, sometimes 1/2 valium while waiting for the Benfo and bicarb to do their wonders.
Starshar Back in the mid to late 80's I had an accident and injured the right hip pretty bad. I had to have physical therapy and have continued to have some problems on that side. This past year the sciatica started acting up and have had shooting pains. Plan on going into the nutrition center this week and pick up items and I'll add that to the list. We live out so trips are planned. The pain is worse when we have been working especially hard and right now we are trying to prepare the garden for Spring planting. Organic is much more work. I don't quit though. Afraid if I sat down and quit I would never be able to get going again. Thanks, Dianne
