Sciatica suffering from this from last year dint took it seriously but the pain is too danm high now and can not be tolerated.

Question

Sciatica is the term used to describe compression of Sciatic nerve (major nerve supplying most muscles of leg) due to some pathology in spine commonly disc prolapse (slip disc).
Sciatica may be just associated with pain but in severe cases nerve compression can lead to paralysis of legs.
Sciatica pain responds well to anti inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen and physiotherapy. In severe cases of Sciatica patients can benefit from procedure called epidural steroid injections. The drug is injected in epidural space (surrounding the spinal cord) which decreases the inflammation and pain of disc pressing on nerve. The procedure is done in operation theatre by interventional pain specialist using X Ray machine. It relieves pain of Sciatica and patient can easily start physiotherapy after this. Sciatica associated with leg weakness, loss of control over urine and stools requires urgent decompression surgery.
In your case you should get consultation with a pain specialist in your city and get MRI Lumbo sacral spine done and proceed accordingly with further treatment.
