Suffering From Sciatica Pain. Treatment?
I have sciatica pain for the past month. I saw two docs and they both agreed that is what it is in my left leg. The pain is unbearable and I have tried many different kinds of pain meds, topical salve also. None seem to help. Is there anything else I can do for this pain? MaryLou Barrett. YYYY@YYYY

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
In case of sever sciatica pain, it is best to get some muscle relaxants prescribed to reduce the compression of the nerve root. Local steroid injections may also be considered for symptomatic relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
