Has anyone had PT for low back pain and did it help?

I have chronic low back pain (degenerative disc, scoliosis, spinal stenosis, and facet joint pain) and have had PT a number of times. I was not helped that much by it. Yet almost every time I visit a doctor, whether it's primary care, rheumatologist, or pain management, they ask if I want another script and I turn it down. However, I have developed significant sciatic nerve pain that travels down my leg and is making mobility very painful. I am now considering PT again, specifically to address that pain. I have had both good and not so good results from epidural. So not great results from PT, but I am considering it again.

Hi Daphne: I am exactly in the same place you are. I don't know where to go now. PT wasn't helping but maybe a different PT might be better. Just because I have scoliosis I need to find one that doesn't concentrate on that entirely. Reading on line has helped me but that's all I do, and it's alot of sitting which isn't good either. Thank you !
