Your scan showed a disc. That still doesn't explain why it hurts this much.

You already learned the thing most people never do: a disc bulge on a scan doesn't decide whether you're in pain — plenty of people have the exact same finding and feel nothing. What often tips a quiet disc into shooting, burning, down-the-leg pain is an irritated, inflamed nerve.

That reframe matters, because it means relief isn't only about your spine's appearance on an image. It opens a door that has nothing to do with surgery or another round of pills that "take the edge off" for a few hours.

Specifically: the sciatic nerve's health depends on certain nutrients, and researchers have studied particular vitamins and anti-inflammatory compounds for how they support an irritated nerve. The presentation below explains which ones, why they're studied together, and how people are using that approach at home alongside staying mobile.

Fair and honest: this supports nerve health — it doesn't replace evaluation of a serious structural problem, and it's not an overnight cure. But if your sciatica keeps flaring and you want a direction that targets why the nerve is irritable, this is worth a few minutes.
