A member asked:
What can i do to relieve pain from an irritated nerve in the lumbar area that is causing tingling down my entire leg? would an anti-inflammatory help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes would help: An anti inflammatory such as ibuprofen or aleve (naproxen) may help. You should see your doctor to make sure what is going on to cause these symptoms. If you are sure is a pinched nerve, then I have directed people to try McKenzie extension excercises which you can search for on google or u-tube but is often best demonstrated for you by Physical Therapist.
