Suggest Treatment For Severe Sciatic Nerve Issue
I have been suffering with a sciatic nerve problem since the 12th of July. just woke up with it in the morning. I did not do any straining or heavy lifting. It has beenover 4 months that I have been suffering and nothing gives me relief. I have been to PT, Aqua PT, chiropractor acupuncture and had 2 series of shots in my back and nothing is working. Iam being seen by a neurologist but I am getting very frustrated and my quality of life sucks. I am 76 years old and wonder if this is going to go away.,
