How can i get a siatic nerve to stop hurting?

Depends: Before treatment can be reccommended, the cause must be established.

Start with your primary care md to determine the most likely cause and then formulate a treatment plan. Good luck.

NSAIDS, ICE, REST: The sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body, exits the from the low portion of spinal cord, travels through the pelvis, supplies motor and sensation to the back of the thighs, the lower leg, ankle, and foot.
