Ok everyone I'm new to this sight and looking for some help... I'm in my 20s I've been diagnosed with sciatica and recently found out that I have a lower back protrusion where the bottom of my spine is off set by like a few cm which is now inflamed and irritating my nerves... I work on my feet all day and sometimes the muscle spasms that shoot from my lower back to my feet.. I've been getting steroid injections and taking tramadol hydrocodone and tizanidine to help with the pain... I do not want to be on oral pain meds or have to get injections the rest of my life... the doctor is now wanting to try a compounded topical medication just wondering if anyone has tried anything like this and if it's a good idea... it has nabumetone gabapentin ketamin lidocaine prilocaine amitriptyline and magnesium in it... any feedback would be greatly appreciated... ty
