Suggest Remedy For Pain Due To Sciatica
Hi my name is Tracey and I suffer from sciatica, what can I do to make the pain go away without taking Ibprofen, since I have been taking 1000 to 2000 mg a day for 2 months Im afraid that my stomach is having a reaction because I constantly feel like I am going to throw up

Hi,
Okay, cannot say in your particular case, but generally, that is a high amount of Ibuprofen and has a considerable risk of stomach injury. Sometimes, even fatal ulcers won't have even that much of a warning. I haven't found surgery to work on pain, muscle relaxers, nerve dampeners and of course opiates are likely to work on sciatica pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
