The pain is pretty diabolical. It can make a grown man cry.
Fair enough re: aspirin. Do you use any other kind of OTC pain relief? The anti-inflammatory aspect seems to help.
The thing is that sciatica is multifactorial, and cures are highly personalized. There is no ONE cure and most advice is a combination of things.
For us, the breakthrough was the cold packs.
It depends what is a trigger. In our case, it was a slip injury, so that's acute - the nerve was bruised. It will probably heal pretty quickly. However, if sciatica is from a degenerative disease, such as diabetes, it can be chronic and must be dealt with by addressing the disease.
Gabapentin and I know it is horrible for you. I want off of it. Not sure it even helps. When I lie down is when the neuropathy gets me the most.
exactly. One is fine as long as one is moving.
I use Voltaren gel and otc lidocaine patches. If really bad, I use a TENS unit.
