I have been having sciatica/nerve pain in my legs for about 9 months. Have had x-rays, MRI, EMG, and other tests and all indicate that I have no spinal problems or nerve problems. I am not diabetic. The doctors are totally confused about what is causing the problem. I tried chiropractics and physical therapy and neither one helped. My doctors are prescribing pain meds but I would really prefer a natural or herbal alternative. Has anyone else encountered a problem like this and how did you cope with it?

There's many good suggestions here, but have you tried just plain old ice.
Never put ice directly on your skin, but try putting it into a ziptop bag, put that into a damp clothe, and put that onto you effected side buttock for about 20 minutes.
This should help relax the piriformis, which could be in spasm, causing sciatic nerve pain.
And, if it doesn't help, you didn't spend a fortune. Or even a buck....
But, normally it helps.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.

I use the mineral selenium when sciatica pain becomes acute. Selenium is a natural occuring mineral that has analgesic properties. It helps take the edge off; doesn't take the pain away totally. Because I am on a fentanyl patch with vicodin for breakthrough pain I also use exercises, such as squatting for some relief.
For myself, I try to keep busy to deal with the pain. Just laying/sitting around seems to make the pain worse.
