@madisonmusic Hello and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Your wife’s leg pain sounds awful so I hope members here can help her. You say that you’ve been to many doctors in Wisconsin but that nothing further is done. What have the doctors suggested for the pain? Unless the problem is with the spine, surgery isn’t done.

I posted a link to the Bone Health support group where there are several discussions about sciatica. I hope you can take the time to read them.
How often will your wife have PT?

We've been through cortisone shots (works about 25% of the time), but our insurance doesn't cover it, so it's been an expensive and uncertain road for these.

Not sure about PT - They have to evaluate her on this on the first visit and will then determine frequency.

Thanks for your post!
