Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern. Several types of medications may be used for sciatic pain. 1)Oral medications include: -pain relievers such as acetaminophen, aspirin, or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen,ketoprofen, or naproxen -muscle relaxants to ease muscle spasms 2) steroid medication is injected into the space around the spinal nerve. 3)Physical Ttherapy for sciatica,bed rest is not recommended as a mainstay treatment. To manage new sciatica pain, you may find that certain positions and activities are more comfortable than others. 4)Acupuncture is a treatment that uses fine needles inserted at specific locations on the skin called acupuncture points.It helpso with pain. Hope my answer was helpful , if you have any other questions I ll be glad to help, thanks!
