Has anyone tried laser for sciatica?  I know it takes time to heal but it's been 3 weeks now and I am getting tired of this.  Been to MD once (did nothing) and my chiro 3x which helped and doing excerises but still hanging in there.  He said it could take 4-6 weeks to clear.  My back feels fine the pain/tingling/ burning goes down the side of my leg and lingers around my knee.  Back and knee feels fine...just the surrounding nerves...any thoughts?

@bargainsgirl   I slather on SportsGel, works miracles for aches and pains.

Nothing worked for me either including OTC pain relievers, heat, lidicaine and then my doctor gave me a series of steroid tablets.  Not a quick relief by any means.... but after a while it started going away.  I've not had it since.  and will do most ANYTHING to not have it come back....

I could hardly walk, my right leg was killing me so I made an appointment with my Acupuncturist and she told me it was sciatica.  I never had sciatica before but she had me walking normal within three or four treatments, I guess I caught it early.
