Sciatica and pain Dam Back .. Help

I 1999 I fell 2 story's ( ladder broke) . I have 4 crushed disks ,in the lower back . I have never found anything that helps when it acts up . Hot tub and relax the only thing that helps . Doctors originally put me on oxy. Used them a couple times but didn't like the feeling of not being in control . I feel for you . I have had times that all I have been able to do is lye in bed for a week and a half unable to move .
