what medication to take for sciatic nerve pain. already tried ibuprofen, aleve and ibuprofen.
A better question is what is causing the pain. If you have tried those medications and had no relief you should see your Doctor for further investigations. An MRI can show up slipped discs, bulging and disc protrusion and nerve compression. Once the cause of the problem is identified, new options for treatment can be used.
