This is a super site. I look at it as amazing with the variety, since most of us have more than ONE particular pain. (but then I am one of the more "Mature Members" on the site, born in 1935. OK, that said, so you know how desperate I am, I have to keep on going while trying to help the entire body, especially the "problem areas" (so many) We don't want to crowd up 'The Center Stage" for pain!! I am still quite involved in trying to lessen my Peripheral Neuropathy pain but here's the next one:
Question!
I was trying to decide if I should "GO FOR IT" with surgery for my Sciatica. This is such a huge area!! I goes from my lower back to the arch of my foot! After reading these surgical consequences, it has really helped me make my decision for surgery. There is no good report that I have heard or read from surgery! Know any? Seriously, please let me know of a positive result! Now I will go back to the "pelvic tilt" exercises, that didn't seem to work, but I probably never stuck with it long enough! I would like to ask, is there ANYONE OUT THERE that DID do the SCIATICIA exercises and got GOOD results??? PLEASE TELL ME! They are so pesky, ON THE FLOOR, 9 I dread it, ) but I WILL! Thanks guys! Sharing helps! It's all good information!

I would like to know what you decide to do. I am 83 and contemplating surgery. My sciatic pain is almost unbearable after about 11:00 am each day with much walking. I have an appointment the end of April to see what surgeon says. If he isn’t encouraging about my results, I will likely seek relief using a spinal cord stimulator. I have heard of some relief using that.
