00:10that travels along the sciatic nerve course.
00:13So we'll talk a little bit about prevention, how can we prevent it.
00:18First stay fit, lose some weight if you are overweight, do more exercise.
00:23Second, posture.
00:25You should keep good posture while you are sitting, walking, lifting and even sleeping.
00:31If you are diabetic, try to control your blood sugar levels and if you are smokers, try to
00:38quit smoking.
00:40How to manage?
00:41I encourage every patient to consult with a doctor because he will put a good treatment
00:47plan for you.
00:49Physical therapy will help, there are a lot of modalities that can ease and relieve the
00:55pain.
00:56Stretching and strengthening exercise.

01:07around genitalia or anus, severe weakness and it's getting worse, hard to pee or to
01:13poo, and a pity to control it and a pity to do it.
