Question:
What type of medication will help me w/this?

I have had a flare-up w/my sciatia (spelling?)/ I know that I cannot take any ibuprofin, aspirin or anti inflamitory, but is there something I can take ? Tylenol is not working/ Thanks/ Patti Meadows/ lap rny/ 9/27/01    — peppermintp (posted on June 30, 2002)

I have the same condition plus the nerves in my legs are pinched by my stomach pinching them . I take a medication called neurontin. It is used for several other conditions like mood stabilizing, but it is superb for pinched neres like we have in the back and other locations. You may also try accupuncture.

Hi Patti. When mine flares up I use Vioxx. It helps me. Back surgery '91, another herniated disc '01, RNY 11/01. 15 lbs. to goal, and my back is GREATLY relieved!!!

My chiropractor helped me a great deal with my back and sciatic pain. Good luck!
