This sensation wakes me up. I also have sciatica. Is there anything I can do to alleviate discomfort? I feel as though I am dragging myself round at work %26 then too tired to do anything after work. Tis becoming miserable.
Answer:
Make an appointment to see your GP.
First check and make sure you don't have another DVT.
If the GP can't deal with the pain from your sciatica then ask for a referral to a pain clinic. The doctors there can help you with both the physical and psychological aspects of long term chronic pain.
you really need to be asking your doctor this question, not us.
take a small amout of asprin to thin out the blood and it should easy your pain
I fully agree with freebird (am also a nurse). You need to be seen to make sure you do not have another thrombosis there. Both Sciatica and thrombosis can be painful and uncomfortable.
I would see a doctor as soon as possible and in the mean time take a dose 300mg of Aspirin. (assuming you have no allergy to aspirin) Aspirin does thin the blood so if there is a clot or clots there then aspirin will help.
However as you know with DVT's there is the danger that the clot could travel up to your lungs and cause a Pulmonary embolism which is life threatening.
See your GP without delay as it's better safe than sorry.
