What can you do to relief sciatica nerve pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Low back pain: A good start is physical therapy, if weight is an issue weight loss is key to take the strain off the back muscles. A consult with a neurologist might also be helpful.

Pinched Nerve: Sounds like you have a pinched nerve in your back. I would suggest seeing a pain/spine specialist to evaluate you further to evaluate what level and what can be done to treat you. There are interventional treatments besides medications and surgeries that might reduce or eliminate the pain altogether.
