Major sciatic nerve pain seems to have gotten worse over last 4 works since workout without stretching. other than nsaids + stretching, any treatment?

Get an exam: If there are neurological findings it can change what might be reasonably tried. Chiropractors, acupuncture, physical therapy, gabapentin, trigger point work, and believe it or not emotional work can all help as well as stretches. I like the ones that stretch the iliopsoas muscles.
