[|Human|] Will any muscle reaxing medication relax the mucles surrounding the sciatic nerve muscle that is sezing up in my right side back just below my waistline or will a specific exercise aleviate the swelling in the muscle. I have live with this for many, many years but this is the worst one yet. Thank you for your assistance. Kathy
[|AI|]  Sciatic nerve supplies the nerve innervation to posterior part of thigh and leg muscles. In sciatica these muscle causes pain and spasm. Ibuprofen (analgesic) along with muscle relaxant such as thiocolchiside will be beneficial to you. Stretching exercises of hamstring muscle and spinal flexion exercises will decrease the spasm. Hope this helps. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health
