What Relieves The Severe Pain Due To The Sciatica?

I do not have health insurance and I have had sciatica pain off and on now for almost a year. The pain at times is crippling. I can t sit stand or lay down and I haven t slept in a bed in a year. I have tried everything humanely possible to get some relief but nothing is working. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
