Sciatica getting worse! Seeking Help.
My Father is a farmer, During the time of Covid he fell down with bike accidentally & unfortunately that resulted in pain at his lower back or Sciatica.
At that time that was only limited to hi lower back but as time passed, the same got even more worse. Earlier he can walk and do daily work as usual but later on the pain shifted to his thigh and now it causes so much pain that he can barely walk, infact he could not relay on that leg as it pains. So now he walks un evenly.
we tried aryuvedic medicine and a treatment like taping the back (which helped in earlier stage). But as of now he's dealing with pain.
It's my humble request for the requested doctor reading this to guide us in recovering from this situation.
