You should check this Sciatica Natural Treatment

Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica. Try a reputable chiropractor ASAP!

Hi, I have same problem. I've found two things helpful - accupunture which relieves the pain but is expensive and a TENS machine. I have one that I can wear pretty much constantly. It works by sending small electrical impulses to the nerves which block the pain receptors. With these two I am now mobile (all be it on a walking stick). Good luck and if you find any other solutions please share.
Take it easy (as if we have a choice)!

I have like you both a bad back and hip problems and i find that a TENS machine, warm baths if possible or hot water bottle and anti inflammtory (ibuprofen) tablets all help, and even in the gel form to rub straight on your hips.

Ask your doctor about an exercise routine. Regular exercise, such as walking three times a week, may reduce neuropathy pain, improve your muscle strength and help control blood sugar levels. Gentle routines such as yoga and tai chi might also help.

I have problems with my lower back and tail bone. Try taking Calcium, Omega3-6-9 supplements. Do some stretching exercises for the back. Drink lots of water.
