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. However, there are things you can do to relieve the pain. Sciatic nerve pain isn't a medical condition. Rather, it's a symptom of another condition. Therefore, treating the underlying condition, such as a slipped disk or degenerative disk disease, can provide relief. Start treating the pain with conservative measures:
1 Painkilling medicines. 2  Some people with neuropathic pain turn to familiar over-the-counter painkillers like acetaminophen, aspirin, and ibuprofen. 3  While these drugs might help with mild or occasional pain, they're often not strong enough for serious nerve pain.ther supplements are sometimes used as treatments for nerve pain. There's some preliminary evidence that a few of them -- like acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, and gamma linolenic acid -- might help with nerve pain caused by diabetes. However, the evidence isn't clear; more research needs to be done.
