I work at a specialty pharmacy where we compound a pain cream that is used to treat sciatic/nerve pain. You could try talking to your doctor about a compound cream that has medications in it used to treat nerve pain. Also those types of creams typically will have an anti-inflammatory in the cream that would treat the inflammation from the buldged disc.

Fortunately, sciatica generally takes care of itself. In the meanwhile, it hurts like the dickens and can extend the pain down one or both of your legs.
