Hi, I'm Sandy. I have been dealing with sciatic nerve pain for five months now. I am 56 years old. I was shoveling heavy, wet snow and knew something happened when I did it. I felt something in my side. Since then, I have been to the doctor several times. I was given muscle relaxers and told to take ibuprofen. That didn't work. The pain increased and went down my legs and my knees and shins experienced sharp stabbing pain. I started physical therapy and was prescribed naproxen and neurontin. This has not helped. My feet are swollen now. So, I started seeing a chiropractor. I have only seen the chiropractor once, but felt better after the first visit. This is just all so frustrating. Just mowed the grass and finished it up with crying in pain.
