- Dull, aching, or sharp, stabbing pain

- Repeatedly lift heavy objects
- Are diabetic and suffer from nerve pain
HOME REMEDIES FOR SCIATICA PAIN RELIEF

For moderate to severe sciatica pain, you should seek out help from your doctor. Professional treatments for sciatica may include:
- Minimally invasive lumbar epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation
- Nerve blocks
