Look again at the graphic of the right eye in the section above. If the superior rectus (SR) muscle of the eye were to be contracted with no other muscles in play, it can be visualized how the front of the eye would be pulled upward (supraduction or elevation) and inward (adduction), toward the top of the nose.ith the left eye looking to the right, if the IO muscle also were to contract, the front of this eye would move upward as well. Both eyes then would be looking up and to the right. This yoked or conjugate movement of these two muscles, right SR and left IO, is depicted in the first (top/left) image of the chart above.
How to Relieve Sciatic Nerve Pain. Sciatic nerve pain results from a compression of, or an injury to, the sciatic nerve. The pain usually runs from the lower spine to the buttock, then down the back of the leg to the calf [source: Mayo Clinic]. In most cases, the pain goes away by itself within two months.

Therefore, treating the underlying condition, such as a slipped disk or degenerative disk disease, can provide relief. Start treating the pain with conservative measures:
But different painkillers work better for different types of pain.

You donât have to have depression or epilepsy for these tablets to help your nerve pain. Amitriptyline and gabapentin both have to be prescribed by a GP.
