Sciatic Dysfunction

I have sciatic dysfunction, so an explanation for all my back pain. I now wear one of those pregnancy belts. And all I can do is wear it and ice my back. My doctor won't give me any narcotics, which I came close to begging for. But further down the road he might. My pain has been so bad this week, I am running on no sleep. Monday night, I didn't fall asleep until 8:30 am. I've been miserable. And of course, it's only going to get worse according to my physical therapist. So we're trying to calm down the inflamed muscles, and do exercises to make me more comfortable. And that's all I have to say.
