I am at my wits end with the constant pain of sciatica. I am taking 20 mg oxycodone twice a day and 300 mg of pregabalin twice a day, The pain varies from a searing, sharp pain form the hip to under my foot or a twisting muscle pain in my calf and thigh. I have had several call to the GP and they just up the dose.
I have had an MRI which confirmed a bulging disc resting on the sciatic nerve. But there is an 8 month wait to see a consultant.
Do any Gransnetters have similar but can suggest different medication? I feel a nuisance calling the GP again. But the pain is dreadful.
