1. Not all pain are same. It needs to be evaluated properly. And also whether you are following the advice as given by your doctor. Because of availablity of different doctors/professionals.. some advise may be conflicting regarding pain.. so request to kindly follow your trusted doctor advise atleast for 6-8 weeks before going for a second opinion. Sciatica pain may resolve in about 3-6 months for most people provided no aggravating activities are performed.
2. Pain killers is what is given for sciatica pain complaint usually, it completely depends on what history has been given to the concerned doctor. Definitely you can avoid taking pain medications and look for alternative pain relief therapies but don't get too reliant on it. Focus more on exercises and strengthening your core & back muscles.
Next Steps
Visit your trusted doctor and follow advise as prescribed
