If your lower back hurts...

[CarlaVeg]

I urge you to try the sacro wedgy!

I suffer from sciatica (even my leg hurts), and lower back & SI joint pain for years. I have been to chiropractors, doctors, acupuncturist, trigger point therapists, massage therapists, physical therapists. I have tried a few workout dvds (Total Body solution, viniyoga, pain free) and nothing I mean nothing comes close to the relief I get from laying on the sacro wedgy for 10 minutes. It works every time, even with my worse case of lower back pain where I can't even walk!! It's amazing!

I am so glad I found something that works me.... so I just wanted to share as this topic comes up every so often!

Thank you for posting.

For about 6 months. In 6 months though I only had to use it about 4 times. I had a bad episode after my c-section, where I was raking the leaves of my yard too soon after the c-section (like 5 days later) and I totally threw my back off. i could not walk. It was a horrible pain and worse yet because I needed to take care of my newborn and couldn't pretty much walk. I used the wedgy for 3 days straight morning and evening and it went a way. i couldn't believe it. After that I only had to use it about 3 times for mild pain and it worked by only laying once for 10 minutes.

Carla, that's great that you've found a solution! I had pregnancy related sciatica with my first child and man, that was soooo painful! I'm not clear on how this little device works. You sit on it??

Carla - thanks, I have always wondered if that worked. I have the same issues as you minus the sciatica. I have also been going to a chiro for years now - it helps, but I have yet to find something that is "permanent" in nature, if that makes sense.

Thank you, Carla.
Wow...you were ambitious...5 days out and you are raking leaves!!! Oh My!!
I was such a slow healer after my C's; day 5 I was still in agony with horrific gas pains!

I may have to give this thingy a try...I would love 10min. relief when my back really acts up...and DH could use one, too.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

oh my I couldn't imagine raking leaves 5 days after a c-section!

Nuggie's Auntie, you lay one it. Almost like doing yoga relaxation pose with the wedgy right under your sacro.

Here is a video explaining the product

I know I know... It was crazy to rake leaves so soon. I just did so great with both of my c-sections and always felt pretty much no pain by the time I was back home..... so I felt fine but I was out of shape and the movement from raking leaves killed my back LOL..... crazy me for doing that!

I tried the Sacro Wedgy but it didn't work for me, although I am sure it can be effective depending on where your issue/pain originates.

Thank you! I'm definitely gonna try it! My lower back hurts constantly. The chiropractor doesn't help and I don't want to keep taking Aleve everyday.
