Wow, so much tumeric! I've never seen it fresh before. I hope it helps your father!
I used to get a pinched sciatic nerve all the time when I was younger, and the things that helped me were to put a pillow between my legs so that my legs stayed even while laying on my side with whatever leg was hurting on top. It kinda hurt while doing it, but eventually it took the pressure off and it would release. Also, good supportive shoes help! I used to always wear whatever shoes were cheapest, but then I went to medical assisting school and we had to wear special nursing shoes for our uniform. Suddenly, I wasn't getting a pinched nerve all the time! So now I always buy nice shoes that help. They're more expensive, but they usually last longer too and it's worth it to not have the pain and my legs giving out on me!
Thank you for your advice. maybe I should try my dad. do you mean to put a pillow so that the feet are higher than the body position?
No, in between, like this:
So that when you sleep on your side, your legs are still apart instead of pressed together. It opens up your hips and takes pressure off the sciatic nerve. :)
Make it so that if one leg hurts more or is going out, put that leg on top. If both legs hurt, then you do one side until it releases, then switch over.
It's interesting, it looks like it's hugging a bolster pillow. I would advise my dad to sleep like that. Thank you for your advice.
Hope it helps!
Any pillow works, I just used a regular pillow to do it. I just snagged that photo to show the position, lol.
Hahaha ... This is great. You have complete evidence. Ha ha
