The Motrin 800 mg is what I was referring to. I don’t ask for them or take them unless I am really in a crises situation. If I were to become a drug addict...it would be a Motrin addict, lol. They make everything quit hurting.
My sciatica is due to congenital scoliosis (double curve). Fortunately, it isn’t a constant pain. When it is it runs down my leg. And I drag my leg like Quasimodo, lol.
I have had several friends, and my mother have back surgery for sciatica. All have had good results. Having your leg go numb is a sign of serious issues.
