take 600mg per day of Benfotiamine you can buy it at any health food store.
Benfotiamine is a fat-soluble vitamin (like vitamins
A, E, and D) because it dissolves in oils.
Why should you care?
Because its unique structure allows your body to absorb benfotiamine
better than thiamine itself. Plus, once it’s in your cells, they hold
onto it longer than regular, water-soluble thiamine. In fact, thiamine
absorption from benfotiamine is about five times higher than conventional
thiamine supplements. you take it with food.

Presumably, you have a problem with the sciatic nerve.

If so, the answer to your question is absolutely.

Avoid massaging the lumbar area as this will only exacerbate the inflammation.

You have to go to a rehabilitation specialist who will demonstrate exercises and then you will show him/her you have learned the drill. Count on at least six sessions. Ideally this person will be referred by your physician, and will know the results of the MRI. This will be the best money you ever spent.

Pinched nerves aren't fun one bit, I have had them in the past as well. Mr Doc told me that I will just have to let it run its course and it will eventually go away, also take something for inflamation, such as Alieve. Numbness has to do with the blood flow moving slowly in that area so I learned to rub the area, around the area three times a day, massaging it to keep the blood flowing. Depending where the munbness is, moving that area, stretches, going for a walk will keep the blood flowing will help as well. Hope this helps!
