See a good chriopractor for sciatica pain. I was not sure about first visit, WOW was I glad after the visit. Now I am a regular. A good chrio will tell if you can be helped.
Only use surgery as a last resort. Before surgery get a 2nd opinion, consider a Neuro surgeon. My sewing buddy went to neuro for second opinion her surgery insion is only than 2 inches. Recovery time about 2-3 weeks.
Herbel teas help me on restless night. Full moon is time to roam the house because I can't sleep.
