Can ibuprofen effectively treat sciatica pain and how does it compare to other treatments in terms of relief and side effects?
Ibuprofen can reduce sciatica pain by decreasing inflammation. It’s less potent than opioids but has fewer side effects and is non-addictive.
Compared to steroids, ibuprofen is less effective for severe sciatica but safer for long-term use, with fewer potential side effects like weight gain and mood changes.
