What are Percocet alternatives for sciatica relief?

Hello, I need some help with my back pain – sciatica. I had it for couple of months now, I have strained my back and after I thought it was gone, sciatica came. I have been prescribed with Percocet but I am not that satisfied with its effect. What are Percocet alternatives for sciatica relief? Can you help me out here?

Well, I guess you should avoid meds that have acetaminophen structure, because Percocet is like that (also Oxycodone). You might try with soma (carisoprodol), which should also be helpful. I have used it couple of years ago, while I had trouble with my knee. Although the pain was gone, the knee took almost four months to be healed completely.
