You should be able to find plenty of shorts if you YouTube sciatic relief exercises
Shooting yourself repeatedly in the face with a shotgun being the most effective, of course...

Blew my back out on the first day of my vacation in the Caribbean…sucked, but got over it fairly quickly.
Muscle relaxers, hot and cold alternating, stretching,..and mojitos.

Anyone with kids knows this is always on the table.

Hot and cold packs, showers, ice, hot tub…whatever you can do. Stretch when the muscles are warm, and rest when they are cold. Some people will say you need to rest to heal, and I think you need to stay moderately active…but extremely cautiously. Don’t make sudden movements, and don’t do anything stupid.
If you’re driving for an extended period and haven’t healed yet…you may need to stop and stretch fairly often just so you don’t seize up. I know I would.
On the other hand, I would not try to do a personal best on a deadlift either for a week or two.

getting my sole day of the year in at Aspen in a few weeks. I learned to ski at Aspen Highlands, but have never tackled Mighty Ajax.

@SKT I know that pain all too well. Ever since I hurt my back during my rowing days 20 years ago, I get that on a regular basis. Heat and agitation helps me best. I always have a deep-heat plaster (correct term?) to put on, and go for longer slow walks. The problems you know have are your muscles locking up, so taking meds to relax them is also an option.

@SKT take Ibuprofen (as long as you don‘t have kidney problems and your stomach doesn‘t revolt against it), a total of 2400 mg per day seperated in 3-4 doses over the day, do it for at least 3-4 days without reducing (Ibu is not only an analgetic but also antiinflammatory and helps the irritared nerve root to calm down), than slowly reduce by need, stop after 10-14 days, also apply warmth to your lumbar region as often as possible (eg with a hot-water bag), once you can move without too much pain try these exercises, good luck with the drive, your IH neurologist

as said, as long as you don‘t have a chronic kidney disorder and it‘s fine with your stomach, basically yes. you should avoid taking it on the longterm, and you may be fine with a lower dose, like 4x 400 mg
Thank you....
