I have tried every gadget,oils,stretches for sciatica & nothing helps. I am now housebound from the severe pain. I cannot sit,only recline or lay down. I explained this to my Dr & she wouldn t prescribe a muscle relaxant so I can even get to see her..I am not pleased with her at this time & am thinking of changing dr s,i thought thats what they were there for. Her office wanted to know if I have another Dr where I use to live where they always helped me when needed. I told them it was a long time ago & of course they won t do it after all these years. Any over the counter recommendations stronger than Aleve,it doesn t work. Thank you.
