Sciatic pain relief
This is Cheryl's mom. My husband's sciatica acted up about 2 weeks ago. He was beginning to feel better after 10 days of rest,a little walking, and some exercises. However, on Monday (3 days ago) the pain become much worse. He cannot stand or sit for more than a few minutes before the pain is so bad that he has to lie down in the fetal position for relief. Lying on either side in this position does relieve most of the pain. Before this bad flare up he had taken Advil or Alieve which helped for an hour or so. These do not help now if he tries to get out of bed. He doesn't want to take anything stronger. Does anyone have any insight or suggestions for this problem?
Thanks,
Michelle
