@kaptainkat That is what I have been told by pain doctors as well. Sciatica is usually caused by nerve pain due to an endless number of factors. I also have bone spurs and DDD and I relieve pain from that differently from sciatica.

Glad to have a random 'second opinion' that concurs with what I have 'found' on the Internet.
Bone spurs and the various changes that nake up DDD can be a cause of lumbar nerve root conditions.

My comment wasn't clear. I'm not saying sciatica is like other persistent pain. It's that mental health can be affected by any kind of persistent pain and vice versa.
