Sciatica is an issue many seniors ask me about, from what they can and can not do because of it, to how to get rid of it. Sciatica by definition is pain affecting the back, hip, or outer side of the leg, caused by compression of a spinal nerve root in the lower back, often owing to degeneration of an intervertebral disk. So herniated disks can be the culprit, or spinal stenosis which is the narrowing of the spine which compresses part of the nerve.

She wanted weight loss — but instead, she lost money and self-esteem.

UK mother Julia Lanni, 58, says she bellied up about $155 last summer for 16 fat-dissolving Aqualyx injections in her stomach in the hopes they would boost her body confidence.

What she got was a 2.75-inch hole in her stomach that required emergency surgery.



“This treatment was certainly life-changing, but not in the way I wanted,” Lanni, of Hertfordshire, England, admitted to SWNS. “My confidence is even lower than it was before. My weight was the same after the treatment and I’ve been left with a scar.”

Karen Thrussell, from Melbourne, Australia, was busy working and being a mom to her two daughters when she started gaining weight around her stomach, something her doctors attributed to menopause. It wasn't until the 48-year-old retail consultant and lecturer noticed an unusual feeling in her abdomen which led her to seek additional medical advice, ultimately leading to a diagnosis of retroperitoneal liposarcoma, and a 16.5-pound tumor which likely had been growing for approximately five years.

Sciatica is a back condition caused by a compressed sciatic nerve and a herniated or slipped disc. Compressed nerves happen when you exert too much energy on your lower back by participating in activities that require a lot of lifting or falling unexpectedly. When you hear the word Sciatica, the most common thought that comes to mind is a dull, nagging pain unlike any other body ache you've felt before, but you're not alone. About 40% of the U.S. population will suffer from the condition eventually.
