First I would heat your nerve up to loosen it and can you have a friend just give you a massage? I have sciatica (tho not as bad as yours) and I just need somethig to loosen me, and some kind hands. ALso here's a site:

This website offers "natural" vitiman type pills that really are supposed to help. My friend swears by them, (I called her when I saw your plea) but I don't know if it'll be fast enough. Can Anyone take care of your baby while you just lay with a hot water bottle and have another friend massage you" Preferably while you're waiting for these pills to get to you. Good luck, Sid

Only with pain managment medication such as vicodine, percoset or codine. This will only mask the pain for a few hours and may become addictive.
