sciatic pain

Too bad - I see that this forum is not terribly active.

Well anyway maybe some of you check in. I am hoping to get some advice about using a castor oil pack to help a sciatic problem - I have been laid up with this for almost 7 weeks now and I am getting so frustrated. It started out as a severe # 10 pain that was completely debilitating and was so bad and so constant for many days that I was contemplating suicide. Not the suicidal type either. It is not such severe pain any more but I cannot sit for long or stand on my feet for long without making it worse and I have to keep ice on it half the time.

So does anyone have any advice? I heard the castor oil might help but I am not very knowledgeable about it. I need to get better here - I'm beginning to get pretty depressed and I hate that. I hate being so inactive and feeling so useless lately.

Thanks if you guys can help.
