I can't recommend any medicines, but some stretches may help?

I do most of these to help relieve the pain.

I currently have Sciatica and am taking Gaberpentin and Paracetamol. I also take one Naproxen daily but if you cannot take Ibuprofen you may not be able to take that as it is an anti inflammatory. This is working and the pain us decreasing.
