What Causes Discomfort In Left Leg Despite Taking Neuroday For Sciatica?

I am nearly a seventy years old lady. I have been suffering from some sort nervy sort of pain on my left leg. Doctor said it is sciatica as it shows a pinched nerve between L4 and L5. I have been on Neuroday and Neugaba. Pain is less but still quite uncomfortable to walk. My friend suggested to take EvionLC. It helped her. Can t see the connection though. But just tell me please whether it might help. Thank you so much. Mrs Ray

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Evion Lc is a vitamin E. This is an anti oxidant, it is possible it is helping by reducing oxidative stress or inflammation but this has not been proven.

You can try in the recommended doses to see if it helps, it is not likely to cause harm once normal levels are used.

Some persons use vitamin b12 and folate to help with nerve related pain.
There are also traditional medications that can be used eg gabapentin, tegretol, lyrica, amitriptyline etc

Physiotherapy may also be helpful

I hope this helps
