Hello. I'm 32 year old female and just recently I become mother. My baby was pretty heavy and about two months before my birth; I have injured my spine or something when I was trying to get up from bed one morning. The pain lasted these two months and continued after my birth. I have never had this sciatic pain earlier in my life.
First couple of months it was mild but with time it was just getting stronger and stronger. So, I contacted my GP imidiately to find out what is causing this pain. After x-rays and an MRI, I was diagnosed with spondylolisthesis L5-S1. It was some mild form of spondylolisthesis and my GP told me that operation isn’t necessary prescribing me some pain killer. But the pain is killing me! Is there some kind of miracle that can help me dealing with this pain?

I really don’t know anything about miracles but I know that, if your painkillers don’t help you, you definitely don’t suffer from some “mild” form of spondylolisthesis. You should contact your doctor imidiately because you have all the indications for operation.
Operation is called spinal fusion and during that operation, surgeon will fuse about two or three vertebras in one so that movement in these joints will be lost. This will solve your pain problems.
If your doctors still think that operation isn’t needed, then I would suggest you to take high doses of choindroitin & glucosamine every day. It will make your vertebras stronger.
Homeopathic medicine also has very good remedies to get rid of pain in the hip and that radiating down into the lower limb.

In 1997, I suffered from sciatica for several months. The Dr. had me on 2400 mg. of Ibuprofen per day but it didn't help. I finally heard about Vax-D. After the first treatment, I felt relief. I took treatments 5 days per week for 5 weeks. Tapering off to 3 times per week then 2 times per week, etc. I have not had any problems with sciatica since. DON' T GET SURGERY!!!!! Sometimes it makes the problem worse. Vax-D is non-invasive and pain-free. In my case, insurance covered treatments as out-patient case. I paid 20% and insurance paid 80%. It was worth every cent. Vax-D stands for Variable Axial Decompression. It decompresses the spine without surgery - taking the pressure off of the disc between the verterbrae. I've seen this advertised by Back-Worxs. It is often advertised in major newspapers. I would strongly advise looking into this. It certainly worked for me!!
