Members connected over the frustrating and painful experience of sciatic pain, with many sharing that they also deal with nerve-related discomfort that can be linked to HIV, medications, or years of physical work. Several members shared what has helped them find relief, including yoga, exercises found on Pinterest, over-the-counter patches and BioFreeze gel, prescription medications like gabapentin and Lyrica, and nerve ablations.
