General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
The commonest problem with the patients of sciatica is not undergoing the proper protocol of sciatica treatment.

I would advise you the following:
First of all get an MRI of the lower spine, get a confirmatory diagnosis.
The the discs are pressing too much that the medical management may not help or if it fails the ultimate answer is Surgical removal of the discs.

Medical management is in the form of analgesics , Painkillers like Tramadol can help. You need a Physiotherapy under the guidance of a Physiotherapist. Strict bed rest and other medications as may be advised by the Orthopedic Surgeon or a Neuro-Surgeon
