Suggest Remedy For Sciatica And Associated Knee Pain

I have sciatica, at least I think it s a bout because I was diagnosed years back and this is the second time I feel the same exact symptoms, except this bout I have severe knee pain and bruising. I do not have health insurance yet and would like to know how I can speed the process of recovery? I am walking it out and stretching, but seems like it will never go away? Any tips?
