Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. Anything that puts pressure on or irritates this nerve can cause pain. Some advices that I can give to you are: -pain relievers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen,ketoprofen, or naproxen -muscle relaxants to ease muscle spasms -Antidepressants for chronic low back pain -steroid medication is injected into the space around the spinal nerve. -bed rest is not recommended as a mainstay treatment. -physical therapy. The proper exercises may actually help reduce sciatic pain. -Acupuncture Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I ll be glad to help, thanks!
