A member asked:

Sciatic nerver pain in the leg and numbness in the toes? can i have drugs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You need to : Find out what is causing the sciatic symptoms first--a herniated disc, muscle spasms, arthritic disorder, etc. Pain medications may be used temporarily, but for lasting relief, the underlying problem needs to be addressed.
