Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you got sciatica. Treatment of this is rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen. Methylcobalamine can be useful as it is neurogenic pain. When you have strong pain you can take strong analgesic such as tramadol. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered.
