How is sciatica treated?

Patient's question:

I have been feeling unwell recently, with the main symptom being sciatica. This condition has been persistent for a long time, and it has never been fully cured. I have taken many medications and applied herbal wines, but traditional Chinese medicine hasn't been effective either. The pain has become severe recently, and medication hasn't provided any relief. Doctor, how should I treat these symptoms? Do I need to go to the hospital to see a doctor?

Doctor's answer:

mostly relates to the herniated intervertebral disc controlling the nerve. It requires a lumbar spine CT examination and a doctor's examination to confirm. Avoid physical labor during the day and pay attention to preventing colds! You can lie on a hard board bed! Take nerve-nourishing medication under the guidance of a doctor! Traditional Chinese medicine syndrome differentiation treatment and acupuncture therapy are effective and can be used together for treatment.
