A member asked:
What treatment options are there for someone with permanent sciatic damage who can't take lyrica (pregabalin) or gapapetin?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several options: Do understand issues with the drugs above. Alternative prescription items may be useful and tolerated: cymbalta, savella, (milnacipran) Gralise perhaps. Maybe pain relief consistently with Butrans patch. Epidural steroids may help. Exercise using the mckenzie protocol often valuable. Have you considered osteopathy or chiropractic or acupuncture?

See below: I agree with dr. Machanic. I would add that in all of his ideas fail you could consider a spinal cord stimulator. http://www.controlyourpain.com/.
