No mate,ice is one of the easiest tool's to use in any type of injury rehabilitation.It's inexpensive and very effective at reducing swelling and inflamation.Hence why you see alot of footabller's and rugby player's etc sitting on the bench with ice pack's on if they pick up a niggle during a game.Back in my boxing day's our trainer Pat used to make us stick both hands in buckets of ice or we'd wake the next day with swelling on the backs of our hands and around the wrist's from the exessive impact of punching.It'll be an invaluable tool with regards to your Sciatica,if you owned a long chest freezer i would seriously recommend laying in it for 20 minutes a day,no joke mate.It will work wonder's.
