"Advil works for me. I take 3-4 200 mg capsules about every 6 hours. Relief takes about 30 minutes. I do worry about taking so much, as I know it’ll mess up your stomach, so I try not to take it unless I REALLY need it."

"Taking up to 800 mg ibuprofen for persistent sciatica. It is more effective than Tylenol with codeine, which didn't help - relief lasting about 1 hour."

"Taking Advil 800 mg three times a day, and it’s passable. For me, it’s about staying ahead of the pain."

"This is my first experience with sciatica... but it's been 3 months. I am now taking Advil 2 capsules in the morning and 1 at night. I would like to stop, but it helps too much."
