My husband has Sciatica and is in allot of pain all the time, especially at night when he tries to sleep. He takes Ibuprofen, but it does very little. Are there any home remedies for the pain? Or any ideas at all?

My friend has a pinched nerve, or so that’s the doctor’s theory. He has pain in his left butt cheek and it cramps up often, usually being worse in the morning. Pain medicine doesn’t seem to make a difference. He’s usually a pain when it comes to going to the doctor and is putting off his MRI that he needs. Any suggestions for at home remedies or something to help with the pain? Thanks!
