“[Gabapentin] I took 300mg/3x daily, and it eliminated about 95% of the pain.”
.
Same here—20 years—but treating the constant tingling in my legs. (Peripheral Neuropathy). Those leg symptoms changed to “Restless Leg Syndrome”, where Gabapentin continued as still effective.
In later years, the tingling has essentially moved (centralized) to my trunk/core which is not relieved by the Gabapentin4th. (So I’ve removed myself off the med).
What was the question again?
What I take. I guess it helps. Stretching exercise for sciatica helps too.
Pills to reduce nerve back pain and leg numbness. No pharma drugs. My uncle was taking pills for his heart bypass and when he fell 3 times i a few months 10+ years later he was given other pills for wrenched shoulder then broken ribs and according to his caregiver that is when he started getting dementia. Watch out for combo drug interactions.
Take per day:
Ibuprofen - 2 pills total 400mg
Turmeric Curcumin - 3 capsules total 1500mg. Reduces Inflammation.
Vitamin D3 - 20,000 to 30,000 IU
Magnesium glycinate - 800mg
Vitamin B12 - 5,000mcg for low back pain
Vitamin K2 - 32mcg to 180mcg
plays a role in overall bone and nerve health, which can indirectly impact sciatica
Vitamin C - 600 to 800 IU
is an antioxidant, can help combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation, potentially easing pain.
Vitamin E: 200 to 400 IU per day
Research suggests vitamin E can play a role in nerve regeneration after injury, potentially aiding in the recovery process for those with sciatica.
Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, vitamin E, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial for sciatica and nerve health.
Magnesium glycinate - Dosage: 200–400 mg per day
Magnesium glycinate may help with sciatica pain by reducing inflammation and promoting nerve health.
** If you’re looking to improve sleep, reduce anxiety, or address a magnesium deficiency, magnesium glycinate may be the better choice.

My Brother is a DC. I was his ‘dummy’ when he was practicing his adjustments decades ago. When I have lower back pain, I stand straight up, and I stand on my toes. Once I have the strength to do that, I stand on the toes of each foot and repeat several times for each foot. A day later, no more pain. We think the benefit is to stretch out the nerves in the lower back and hip.
