EXPERIENCING BACK PAIN AND LEG PAIN AS AN OLDER ADULT

Having back pain or leg pain (sciatica) when you are older is different than – like most things in life – when you experienced back pain or sciatica as a younger person. There is a range of types of sciatica patients – those who have mild leg pain to those with high pain, disability and timeframe of having it. Researchers found that most improvement for pain and disability occurred in the first 4 months for all. At one year, 45% (mild) to 27% (high pain/disability) of the patients described recovery at one year. (1) Sciatica bothers about 25% of us. Typical descriptions are of lower limb pain that is more bothersome than the lower back pain. Numbness and motor weakness may also join the sciatic pain. The usual care options are pain medications of all kinds from NSAIDS to opioids devoid of much evidence for their benefit. Additionally, most clinical trials for these meds for managing the pain of sciatica do not include older people. (2) Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers offers a non-drug option for older adult back pain and leg pain that has research support for its use and documentation of its effectiveness for that life-changing experience of back and sciatic pain.

BACK PAIN AND SCIATICA CHANGE LIFE

Patients describe to researchers that “It has changed my whole life.” “It” is chronic low back pain which is back pain that persists beyond 3 months. Specifically, a recent article clarifies that back pain sufferers say that it harms their sense of self, causes them to feel like they are trapped in a body that just won’t work any longer, complicates family relationships, keeps them working in pain, and causes them to feel socially and recreationally subdued.
