"I am a 35-year-old male with moderate to severe sciatica (pain from buttock to ankle) due to a bulging disc L5 - S1. I found taking a 1000 mg dose gave significant and almost total relief for about 1 to 2 hours. The effect was greater if the pain was not too severe, the best results came from taking aspirin before the pain got severe. I also found that taking aspirin without food made it work faster, but I suffered stomach aches as a consequence."

"I have severe sciatica as a result of a cyst on L5. The epidural failed, gave relief for a week before pain returned, and I am headed toward surgery to remove the cyst. I have found aspirin works better than Aleve (2 every 8 hours or 3 every 12 hours per my doc is OK), Advil, and Tylenol, 10 mg Norco and Gabapentin, although I am stepping up bit by bit to a full dose of Gabapentin, and maybe eventually that will help. On a scale of 1-10 my pain is a 10, and the aspirin will cut it down to a 3-4 for a couple of hours."

Aspirin "For one week, I have been suffering from progressive sciatica pain in my left leg when standing. For the last two days, it has been an '8' on the pain scale when standing, with no relief from Tramadol, ibuprofen, Tylenol, or naproxen sodium. Today, I tried Ecotrin 500 mg with some relief....
