I have sciatic issues from hysterectomy about 40 yrs ago and no spasms here...I go thru periods when the sciatic nerve quiets down and then it acts up again when I go thru something like a horrible knee infection I had in 2016, long saga there and in hosptial and rehabs for 4.5 months, lying around and not walking caused more sciatic mess.
Learn some sciatic nerve stretches....they are out there to find. Also, do you take magnesium which many in the world are deficient....lack of mag can cause spasms....you can find mega info on this support group on magnesium deficiency. It's not even clear sciatic is your issue, is it Ontario. |

Hi Ontario
I have experienced both a trapped sciatic nerve at 28 and Peripheral Neuropathy (PN) in my 50s so have experienced both sets of symptoms. The sharp shooting pains in the groin are not sciatica. I experienced those symptoms in the gentleman area at the height of my PN. The pain was intense and pulsating. But worse was the mental anguish. What if things just continue to get worse, what terrors lay ahead? But things did not get worse. They got better. After two weeks or so those symptoms disappeared. I have nothing more than a theory but I believe that PN makes all other pain worse. So that if you are vulnerable to sciatica, PN will exacerbate those symptoms. My approach to dealing with PN is to create the optimum conditions that allow the body to heal itself. Optimum diet and nutrition, supplements, exercise, stretching, massage and rest have all helped me. You can find a variety of different resources on this site. I wish you well🙂 |

I was having groin pain episodes on the left for a while, and they were an "adverse event" of the MS drug I was taking (Copaxone). When I stopped the drug, the pain stopped. So sometimes groin pain can be related to a medicine you're taking. But spasms going down your leg to your foot are fairly typical of sciatica.
