I have been using Combivent for about 5 months, 3 to 4 weeks ago I started having what I thought to be sciatica. The pain in my lt. hip and thigh is quite severe at times. I have been fairly comfortable tonight until I used the inhaler a few moments ago and I almost immediately started having more pain. I decided to go on line to check side effects and saw your ad. Could this be one of those little known side effects of commonly used drugs?
Hi, I actually don't think it is a side effect of stopping Combined inhalation, and it is not related in any way. I think you may need some sciatica treatments, you may start with hot compresses on your back physiotherapy, massaging with topical gels, yoga is even helpful if fail you may ask your specialist for doses of medicine like anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxant, narcotics, Tricyclic antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications. Rarely you may need minor endoscopic intervention or even spinal discectomies if needed. Some lifestyle changes will be ok. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
