Can diclofenac be helplful for sciatica pain?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Diclofenac is an anti-inflammatory medicine. It is indicated if you have failed the use of tylenol/acetominophen. Be careful of the gastrointestinal side effects of any NSAID that is taken.

Possibly: It is an anti-inflammatory medication that can help. However, if you are not better after a few days I suggest seeing a spine specialist for further evaluation and treatment options.
