Sciatica Pain: Treatment

Sciatica Pain: Treatment

Posted By Diana on March 02, 1998 at 00:57:12:









My 65 year old mother injured herself about 2 weeks ago while moving heavy boxes and is now diagnosed with sciatica.  She was given a prescription for Darvocet, which she discontinued because it was too "sedating", and is now taking Lortab, which she seems to be tolerating.  However, she is still in some pain much of the time.  Can you tell me what other options  are available for her to consider?  Her doctor recommended hot compresses and 2 grams of glucosamine every day.  Will the pain eventually resolve by itself?  Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions.
