Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My Sciatic nerve is so painful I can hardly walk, the only relief is when I lay down. Is there any quick relief for this awful pain? I am 69 years old and have not had this pain since 2005. Yes I am over weight at 215, pounds. I prefer herbs and tea s instead for drugs. I am get ready to take classes to become a Peer Specialist and I need to be mobile and flexible.
I think you need to take naproxen for pain. After two days of rest you can start to do physical therapy to relieve pain. Also shading some pounds can help you with this condition. You can consult a dietitian for losing some pounds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Olgeta Xhufka , General & Family Physician
