Ive been suffering from lower back pain off and on since i was a teen, but for a long while now i had been ok. About 2 weeks ago, my sciatica started acting up again, and has been getting worse, and worse. I saw my Doc. i was given a script for flexiril, which has done absolutely nothing to help. I called my Doc. office to set up a new appointment, because this pain has gone from mainly the lower back/buttock area, to now all the way to my foot...but all my the Doc. said i could do is "walk it off". For any of you that have, or are currently dealing with this...what has worked the best for you? Has it been meds, certain forms of stretching, massage therapy, or was surgery your only salvation? Any help/suggestion would be immensely appreciated, and welcomed. I haven't been able to sleep more than a few hours in days, and even brief walks become too painful to continue.
