It does sound like sciatica. Sciatica pain is miserable. I use Voltaren gel, Flexeril 5 mg (a prescribed muscle relaxant) and a heat pack for mine when it flares up. I can't tolerate oral NSAIDS (Advil, Motrin, etc.) which is what is usually prescribed. Mention Sciatica to the doctor and get his take on it. Praying for her.

I have a broken back and then about a month later, I fell and hit another part of my back on a shelf, I believe it may be broken or badly injured. I don't get any thing for muscles or pain, except I do get Light of cane patches which do help if you use them all the time and light of cane cream also helps a lot.I am waiting to see a doctor to see about getting a back brace hope this helps in some way
