What to do if i need some advice on extreme sciatica pain?

Ok: First ensure the diagnosis is accurate. Not all symptoms in the leg are sciatica. Good thing is that you may successfully manage your symptoms with conservative options including anti-inflammatories, physical therapy, spinal injections.

See a Spine Expert: If conservative care and stretching doesn't help, seek advice from a spine specialist. You may need stronger anti inflammatory medication or possibly an epidural steroid injection.
