my husband recently diagnosed with severe sciatica that radiates down rt leg. has seen pcp, and ortho. Rx d gabapentin and prednisone by PCP, Rx d mobic and muscle relaxant by ortho. ortho wants to get MRI. c/o numbness and tingling down rt leg into toes, sometimes in big toe and adjoining toe, sometimes into last 2 toes. c/o most of tingling underneath the toes. i ve also had him doing some stretching, but the only thing that helps the pain is to lie in the recliner, or if he s in the pool. this has now been going on for 11 days. what else can he try?
