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.
I was told 2 weeks ago from the VA that i have Sciatic nerve pain i was given multipal pills one was Prednisone..Right now the pain is so horrific i was wondering is there anything i can take to ease the pain until i can get to the Veterans Hospital
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, initially pain can be successfully treated with NSAID and best choice would be "Tab Acetaminophen with Diclofenac" three time in day if this fails to responds then you can try some more potent analgesic but it need to be taken under clinical observation hope this information helps.
