Hi, you are having sciatica since 9 years, but the pain you are having now may not be related to the sciatica. it might be fibromyalgia, or arthritis of the joints of the back.
I to my patient with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and one injection weekly, along with other pain medications.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers, tomato, egg, chicken, and sea foods. Thank you.
