Hi,
Sciatica is sometimes very painful and may interfere with your daily activities. For your age I think you may not need endoscopic or surgical interventions. So some lifestyle changes and medication will be good for you.
You may begin with topical gels on your back with massaging and physiotherapy or even massaging are helpful .medications like anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxant, narcotics, Tricyclic antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications are effective. If not you may need a specialist intervention so early diagnosing and treatment is the main protecting idea.
Avoid lifting heavy objects and decrease your biking a little bit till you feel better. Sometimes steroid intramuscular injection are effective to decrease inflammation around your spinal nerve roots are needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
