We cannot : On HealthTap we cannot recommend medications because we need your full medical history (known allergies, other medications you are taking, other conditions) before medications can be recommended. I would call your Dr for this advice. One thing you can try (if you have not done so already) is lie on your back with a pillow under your knees.This will help take the tension off your sciatic nerve.
