What pain medication to take for sciotic nerve pain the pain is worse at night especially when getting up after working around a little bit the pain becomes less dull

Neurontin (gabapentin) : Neurontin (gabapentin) or lyrics which are nerve medications often work well for sciatica. I would recommend seeing your primary care doctor for assessment and treatment. If sciatica does not respond to medications it may improve with steroid injections or surgery. I recommend you seeing my health guide on lumbar disk herniations and sciatica. Good luck!
