Any Suggestion For Having Disc Protrusion And Impingement Of Sciatic Nerve?
I have disc protrusion and impingement of sciatic nerve for 10 months. I have tried lyrica, tramadol 2x anti inflammatory drugs, injection (steroid) and endone with no relief. Pain is so bad I cannot bear to stand and I need some pain relief before i go crazy.

Hi,
You are having sciatic nerve radiculopathy which causes pain of burning type along distribution below the level of compression associated with tingling and numbness . You don't get relieved from oral analgesic at these stage you should take fentanyl analgesic patch to control your pain . But if the pain persists despite of treatment then operative decompression should be thought .
So in my opinion visit pain clinic to get patch under their guidance for symptomatic management or orthopaedic clinic for definative management .
