hi. I was diagnosed with right leg sciatica sudden onset on 9-28-16, perscribed ibu 800 mg x3 daily, cyclobenzaprine 10 mg 3x day. I just noticed the right foot has 4 black and blue toes as well as bottom of right foot. Is this associtaed with sciatica? or something else?

Color changes are usually related to insufficient blood reaching your foot. If this is not a transient event, you have to seek medical care immediately. Especially if you have diabetes or any vascular/heart disease.

Sciatica has nothing to do with color changes.
