Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
With such presentations in my clinic, I would first reassure my patient ,I suggest doing MRI FOR LUMBOSACRAL spine to search for any cause of radicular sciatic pain and I prefer using certain medications:
-Pregabalin 150 mg once daily to relieve numbness.
-Thiotic acid containing medications twice daily.
-NSAID and muscle relaxant.
