Hello Ma'am, Sciatic nerve pain relief is unfortunately not well relieved by medication. In fact, I advocate a more hollistic approach, addressing the root of the problem. To do this, instead of jumping on pain medication, I recommend you seek physical therapy. The physio will be able to perform certain maneuver to reduce the pain and prevent you from re-injuring yourself in the long run. Good day, Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist It feels good!
