Dr. Lin Yunfei
Patients with sciatic nerve pain should observe the following precautions:
1. Avoid consuming spicy foods (e.g., chili peppers) and greasy foods (e.g., animal liver), as these may impair local blood circulation.
2. Ensure adequate rest and avoid prolonged bending or activities involving excessive lumbar flexion.
3. Regularly consult a hospital’s orthopedic or neurology department for relevant examinations to identify the underlying cause of the sciatic nerve pain.
