Acute Sciatica help needed!

3 week Sciatic pain- possibly from overwork- I have tried the Remedy Finder but am only getting a 40% match!

Sharp excruciating pain left hip and down leg to ankle

Worse at night

Intermittent and sudden

worse from sitting to
standing or leaning over to pick something up

Sometimes discomfort and pain in lower back too

Sometimes lying down helps,
sometimes not.

Sometimes stretching it helps, sometimes not

Lying down is better but still not great.

Feels best after it has been stetched out

In the morning you can stretch and it feels better for a bit.

In the evening you can stretch but minutes later it feels bad again.

He is not energetic,
Difficult to ever get a reaction from him… with anything. He is very tough, never complains, not really very happy or talkative but works hard, wants to sit and watch tv when he’s home. He has lots of worries, has several businesses on the go, problems with staff, money etc. I wouldn't say he seems ‘happy’, although he assures me he is.

*wifes note: he is VERY cranky tonight, wincing, hobbling when he gets up, can't get comfortable in the big chair it hurts so much, he really wants everyone to leave him alone, just wants to lay down. Is yelling at me to stop asking him all these questions. I am trying to explain to him I need to get a remedy picture but he's like a bear with a thorn in his paw ;-) He's a very gentle soul actually and hates arguing or yelling usually- gets mad at me when I yell at the kids- hates to hear raised voices- will walk out the door if I get into an argument with him. This left hip/leg sciatica been very painful all week but as usual he never mentioned anything about it until now that he is home and I can physcially SEE him in pain. Says he finished work and went straight to his hotel and laid down every night. Again never complained all week on the phone. ] Isn’t talking in sentences, just bits and pieces and I have to drag the rest out of him. He is very stressed, travels and is on the road and away from his family a lot. Climbs and maintains cell phone towers so needs to get some relief asap.

I gave him rhus tox 1 M about 2 weeks ago one time but there didn’t appear to be much improvement. (this was recommended a few years back here on the forum for his aching shoulder and so I had it on hand - I thought some of the picture matched his current situation-no improvement though I dont' think) Chiropractic has helped but doesn’t hold.

If anyone could suggest a remedy to help him, I would be very greatful. Thanks, Wendy
