Yes: Analgesic rubs are not opioids. For that matter, Oxazepam is not an opioid. You should be able to use Tylenol. Ask your doctor to help you to learn the CAUSE of your sciatic pain and also ask for another muscle relaxant (such as Robaxin or cyclobenzaprine) if s/he is willing if needed in addition to Tylenol. Heat or cold and stretching might help also. Good luck!
