Close Back Pain
Chronic back pain off & on since 1998, worse over past 6 yrs. Had discectomy in 2001 and had two level decompression May 15, L3/4 & L4/5. Worst complaint is bilateral leg pain - can no longer exercise, take walks, etc. Waiting to see if surgery helped.
Close Sciatica
I've suffered from sciatica for about 6 years; very debilitating. Have had 2 back surgeries, last one 10 days ago. Still having nerve pain in both legs and praying for relief from the surgery.
Treatments
- Ibuprofen Working / Worked
- Nothing has ever helped my sciatica. Tried Neurontin for short time but couldn't tolerate it. Didn't help.
