What do you take for sciatica pain?
RNY on 08/14/12
Usually, sciatic pain shoots down your butt, the back of your legs, and sometimes to your heel/foot. You can take Tylenol since we're not supposed to take NSAIDS without doctor's supervision. If it's an on-going problem, you probably need to see your PCP.
I get some pain right at my SI joint, but I think it's related to when I was pregnant. Things are never the same after a baby. LOL

trameel, a homeopathic medicine. It comes in a rub, liquid and pill. Works for me.

I would get terrible sciatica when I was pregnant. Pain killers didn't help because the pain wasn't constant, it would just shoot down my leg when I moved. I think there was something about being pregnant that caused it because I never have had it when I wasn't pregnant. Anyway, what helped every time was acupuncture. I tried chiropractors, message, special belts, physical therapy and anything else that was recommended and the acupuncture worked every time. I just would have it once or twice and it never came back again. Have you tried it yet?

Tylenol, since we can't do nsaids and ICE on the small of my back and near my left side where my pain starts. When it gets really bad, like 7 or more on the pain scale, I have some prescription pain meds. Walking also helps, believe it or not. The more sitting or laying around I do the more pain I get.
