Very quick history - 95 or 96 my L3 and L4 went out and in the process nearly severed my sciatic nerve. Lost about 80% of the strength and movement in my left leg. All the tests were done which revealed the two guilty discs, sciatic damage and the presence of disk degeneration disease. The surgeon said surgery was an option or physical therapy. I did not like the odRAB of the surgery so I spent the next six months in physical therapy. The surgeon also said I would need major surgery by the time I hit thirty as my back is a mess.
Well now I am thirty four and normally I would have a few flare ups a year that would go away rather quickly. The problem is for the last couple of weeks my lower back on the right hand side has becoming more and more sore plus the sciatic in my right leg is getting worse and worse.
I avoid pain killers like the plague due to the difficulty of getting off of them after the first main incident some twelve years ago. I guess what I am looking here is for suggestions and advice to get through this pain without any narcotic help and pretty much confirmation that the same problem as before is now back.
thanks for your time
