Good answer siri, I would like to speak to you from personal experience. Stretching your hamstrings is on of the best things that worked for me. Also diet and exercise, will do wonders, just start out light, Chiropractors can be very helpful, I like the ice or heat thing...

I've been going to an Ortho, who prescribed some light pain killers that have helped, along with muscle relaxers and anti inflammatories.

Hope you are feeling better soon, I know that the exercise and diet helped the most for me, hope it helps you too.

I personally have extreme sciatic pain down both of my legs due to multiple spinal related problems...it can really suck! The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in your body..what works for me? Unfortunately I have to take it easy...pace myself no matter what I'm doing...avoid stress (Yeah..easier said than done!)..rest..try alternating heat and cold therapy but not for long periods of time..if you are able to do so...baby yourself as much as possible...I recently had a spinal epidural steroid shot...only helped for a couple weeks....chronic pain can be a real bitch and often very hard to deal with..hope I helped with my answer but, there unfortunately is no cure except for spinal surgery depending upon what ails you and of course, your age, plus mental and physical health. Me? Nobody is going to operate on my spine..ain't going there! (:

Heat/ice For acute sciatica pain, heat and/or ice packs are most readily available and can help alleviate the leg pain, especially in the initial phase. Usually ice or heat is applied for approximately 20 minutes, and repeated every two hours. Most people use ice first, but some people find more relief with heat. The two may be alternated to help with sciatica pain relief. Also, medication such as ibuprofen, naproxen or oral steroids. You can also try accupuncture, massage therapy or manual manipulations. There are usually 4 causes for sciatica pain. You can ask your primary care physician and possibly get a referral to see a Neurologist Dr.
Gabapentin/Neurontin is also a good medication or even Lyrica.

I've been there Hipster, where I couldn't walk or just barley walk, and the truth is the body will heal it's self if you give it the right nutrition, stretching, and exercise. I am living proof. It may have been a miracle though, but I went from only being to walk a little, to hiking and running, and doing what ever I wanted, the more I rested and took it easy, the tougher it was on the muscles in my back.

I know you do have to take it easy and rest, but the key is not to much, to much rest will make it worse. Nice to hear from you Hipster...
