I've got a friend with radiculitis sciata lumbago. it is aggreviated by the cold/ wind. does anyone know what may help/eliminate the pain?

Weeks to Months: Generally most people can get relief from sciatic pain doing the conservative care within 3-6 weeks. If it persists after that, it can take up to 6 months to heal by itself. You may still be a candidate for epidural steroid injections that may help relieve the pain while your body heals itself.
