A member asked:
If i irritated the nerve or nerves contributing to the sciatic n. due to sleeping on the floor,, what should i do to treat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MoreComplicatedIssue: First, if you have to sleep on the floor try and get some form of firm cushioning even if it's only putting a few towels or blankets down.That would be better than sleeping on a too-soft mattress.Second, that's not usually the cause of "sciatica,"if that's actually what you have (there are a lot of mimics).What do you do with the 'x' number of hours that you're awake?Sit all day? Lift stuff?
