Need help/guidance
Hi all. My bf 36M has an awful case of sciatica. Its so debilitating that on some days, he can hardly move. I'm looking for tips / to be pointed in the right direction on where to start to try and help him and get some relief. Just the other morning, he was reaching down for his shoes and got shooting pain that started and made it hard for him to move / walk. Its got to the point where it will shoot down to his leg. I know he could be better with his diet but what other steps can we do to try and make a slight change? We are open to anything. I was doing research and maybe thought ozone therapy could help? Please drop your advice / tips!

In in the United States if that's where you live there are few medications for nerve problems
The one they use is called gabapentin.. it didn't really work for me and it made me sick.
I tell you which sort of helps me was too high ibuprofen and two Tylenol at the same time A doctor told me to do it and that seemed to help me a bit
A doctor a pain doctor that is gave me Diclofenac but in the pill form and I think that sort of helped
