Journal Title: International Research Journal of Pharmacy (IRJP) - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Sciatica is a common type of pain affecting the sciatic nerve. Sciatica usually affects only one side of the lower body, often the pain extends from the lower back all the way through the back of the thigh and down through the leg. Depending on where the sciatic nerve is affected the pain may also extends to the root or toes. For some people, the pain from sciatica can be severe and debilitating, for others the sciatica pain might be infrequent and irritating, but has the potential to get worse. Among the affected patients, 40 % have radicular pain and these cases can be classified under the Umbrella term of sciatica syndrome. Low back pain is extra ordinally common second only to the common cold particularly in most productive period of life. The person who suffers from this disease is partially handicapped as the patient may not be able to walk, stand or sit comfortably due to his constant attention to the painful limb. We describe a case of 45 years old man who is Police by Occupation. The patient came to us complaining of pricking pain, pulling pain, stiffness at Right leg. He was not able to walk without support. The X-Ray of Pelvis with both the Hips shows PID. The Patient was suggested an operative and he thought that he never stand and walk on his own legs. With this complains the patient was admitted in our institute. Shodhan therapy has already been established as being better than shaman. Hence Panchtikta Kshir basti and Majja Ghrita Basti were selected for the present case. At the same time we started him oral medication with Yoga. The patient was admitted for two months and fifteen days, and completely recovered from sciatica. This is one of our best cases of recovery of this kind. It is due mainly to the fact that the condition was in early stages. The results replicated the original study and showed substantial improvement for the patient and his dream came true to walk on his own legs without support.
