You need to get all those muscles to relax. You can't get that effect until you take 800 mg of Motrin/advil. You can still take that dose three times a day. You may want to ask your doctor for a real muscle relaxant. Flexoril is popular, but doesn't do that much for me. I had a severe back spasm issue once and took 1 Valium. Woke up four hours later and was all better.

How far down you nerve is your pain? Is it running down your thigh?

The Motrin 800 mg is what I was referring to. I don’t ask for them or take them unless I am really in a crises situation. If I were to become a drug addict...it would be a Motrin addict, lol. They make everything quit hurting.

My sciatica is due to congenital scoliosis (double curve). Fortunately, it isn’t a constant pain. When it is it runs down my leg. And I drag my leg like Quasimodo, lol.
