Homeopathic treatment for lumbosciatica?

Hi, I have had severe lumbosciatica for 6 months, which shows no signs of improving. I’ve tried everything: cortisone treatments, anti-inflammatories, ozone injections, osteopathy and so on and so forth. Now I would like to try a homeopathic remedy and I have recommended Nux Vomica. Is it possible to know if it is the most suitable remedy and how to take it? Thank you

Dearest, I understand your situation very well because I also lived through it many years ago, and it is no coincidence that I have opened the site schienattiva.com, where you can find a lot of useful information regarding back pain. I agree with the surgeon’s opinion, in most cases having a herniated disc does not help much. Painkillers also have a mild effect, as the extruded spinal disc interferes with the sciatic nerve. If you really want to do the bone tests to have further certainties, go ahead and do them, but even in this case I don’t think they are conclusive. The solutions I propose. SOLUTION 1: get used to doing postural stretching exercises at least 20 minutes a day, which are used to stretch the entire spine and muscles, if you do a sedentary job, at least every hour, he must get up from his chair and take a few steps. Even a postural re-education program in water is certainly a good solution, since at first it is necessary to act on the “mechanical” cause of the problem. Inactivity and lack of movement are the worst enemies of the back. Don’t expect immediate results with stretching and swimming, but keep doing the exercises. If you don’t like water, take walks for up to half an hour, in addition to postural stretching exercises, which you can very well do at home on the carpet, but I recommend that you commit to doing them. If you are sleeping on your side, I recommend that you sleep with a small pillow between your thighs which helps stabilize your spine and prevent extra rotation of your pelvis to one side. If you sleep on your back, put a small pillow under your knees to make your back fit better against the mattress. If you sleep on your stomach, I strongly advise you to lose this habit, which is not good for your back especially the cervical part. SOLUTION 2: homeopathic remedies such as Nux Vomica are indicated, however based on my experience I would also recommend RHUS TOXICODENDRON, with its remarkable anti-inflammatory properties. Keep your lower back and sacral area warm, using a waistband or heating bands, or if you have one of those pillows that heat up in the microwave, and keep the heat for half an hour, use it as often as possible, the heat helps the muscles to relax and decrease inflammation. Try not to work or do housework beyond its limits, because rest is just as important in these cases, therefore try to be helped as much as possible by those who can give you a hand. The emotional aspect of this malaise would then have to be taken into consideration. So if you want we can also hear from you later, to tell me how it goes.
