Hi, sorry to hear about your pain.

My regular chronic pain meds don't always help with the nerve pain of sciatica. My physical therapist helps by manipulating the ilia that is usually the culprit. (My bones go out of place due to muscle tension. When it's the sacrum/ilium it's often onto the sciatic nerve.) Ultrasound also helps.

Recently (this year) when I went into the urgent care center, the doctor not only gave me a shot of toradol, but a script for more in pill form. It has been life changing. It almost immediately aids in the swelling, allowing the bones to return to (AT LEAST) close to normal, and helps the pain subside.

Good wishes!
JD
