Suggest Treatment For Compressed Sciatic Nerve

My sciatic nerve is compressed. I have not been able to get an MRI yet because of finances. I just got in disability in January Andy waiting for Medicare to kick in. At any rate, my husband noticed this evening that my entire left thigh on the back is bruised. Over the past few weeks, the pain has subsided, with the help of meds. Any idea why the bruise gas showed up?

Respected user, hi I evaluated your query thoroughly.
*Bruise involving this large area over entire left thigh back, has definite to
do with - some compression injury - vascular compromise of any type
but not related to compressed sciatic nerve.
*Highly recommended to get atleast Doppler ultrasound of local part & venous
system to get correct diagnosis & management accordingly.
Hope this clears your query.
