How to releive sciatica pain?

My mother has been struggling with sciatica pain for a few weeks now. It goes all the way down her leg. She's tried hot compresses, but it's not enough. What else can she do for some relief?

Sciatica can be really tricky, best to get a proper diagnosis from a good orthopaedic doctor. They'll probably suggest some physiotherapy or specific exercises. Don't just try random things you see online without consulting them first. It could make it worse, honestly.

Take care of your body, it's a temple. Pain can be tough but remember to stay positive. Consult with a good doctor, and also try some light meditation or breathing exercises if you can. It helps in managing the discomfort and staying calm.

Honestly, for something like sciatica, please don't rely on internet remedies. There are so many self-proclaimed 'experts' out there. What works for one might be harmful for another. Go see a proper doctor, get it checked, and follow their advice. It's serious.

Yaar, sciatica is no joke, my uncle had it. He actually found a lot of relief with some specific stretches and core strengthening exercises given by his physiotherapist. He also used a special pillow while sleeping. Best to consult a good physio, don't self-medicate or do random stuff.
