Prescription Medications
If over the counter painkillers are not doing enough for you, you may want to speak to your doctor about other medication options. Muscle relaxants can help to unknot all the tension along your legs and buttocks.
You can also talk about certain prescription painkillers, but keep in mind that many doctors will not prescribe painkillers that have an addiction risk for longterm use. Another helpful type of medication to talk about is anti-depressants. Some research suggests that these can be helpful for sciatica because they boost the production of endorphins.
