Painkillers
The over the counter painkillers you can get you at your local pharmacy can often help relieve sciatica discomfort. The key is to select painkillers that work by relaxing muscles and decreasing inflammation.
Anti-inflammatory options like aspirin or ibuprofen help to reduce discomfort even after they stop directly impacting your ability to feel discomfort. Just be sure to read the directions carefully and never overdose even if you still feel discomfort. These are strong medications that may cause problems if you swallow one every time you feel a twinge.
