My Experience with Sciatica PainI have been having what I thought was hip pain for the last 6 or 7 years. Finally after taking every Arthritic pill and muscle relaxant on the market, I told my M.D. I had gone as far as I could and I needed help. She sent me to a Neurosurgeon and he found I had a bone problem in my back. He did a Laminectomy and I was told there may be Nerve damage and it would take a while for it to show up.Now 3 yrs later, the last 2 1/2 in pain. I am at the point of having another surgery to hollow out the canal to take pressure off my Sciatica. I did the prototypical having taken Predizone-3 caudle back blocks 3 weeks apart. Now my option is to try and fix it. My pain is mild right now,so I will wait as long as possible. Some times it feels as though my leg is not going to work I can no longer sleep on my left side and if sitting, have to have it straight out to the side. I am 65 yrs. old Healthy, other than my back and Female. Thank You, Joanie 12/16/08
