Need relief for sciatic pain ?

OTC nsaids/motrin: Aleve, (naproxen) prescription muscle relaxers, narcotics, physical therapy, hot and cold compress application would help. Imaging studies - xray, mri, ct scan of lspine would be useful to check for arthritis of the spine and pinched nerve. Always follow up with your pcp. Google online for back exercises. Take care!
