a good strong indica and a hot pad...unless you have a hot springs or jaccuzi nearby. i've been struggling with sciatica for 15 years now and 7 surgeries and 2 fusions (L5-S1 area) later and it's worse. surgery only made it worse...

so now i'm stuck on daily morphine intake with perc's for the breakthrough pain...marinol and bud works very well for giving the pain pills a boost and usually only takes half the prescribed amount to be comfortable (nothing so far takes it totally away) so yes, thc does work, and my pain doc is documenting it for a future paper! i suggest setting up an appointment with a pain management clinic asap so you can get some rest and comfort...then work on the cause. but try to avoid surgery and if advised, get another opinion before jumping into it. i didn't and am paying for it for the remainder of my days...also, move to an enlightened state so you can grow your meds with less worry. most states with med use have sciatica and other chronic pain conditions listed specifically as a reason to qualitfy.

good luck
