Sciatica Support Group
Sciatica is a term meaning pain that originates from compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest and largest nerve in the body. If the sciatic nerve is pinched or compressed (perhaps by a bulging disc in the low back) a patient may experience leg pain--the classic symptom of sciatica.
I have gone to a chiropractor for many years and my pain has been greatly reduced.
I have sciatica from piriformis syndrome and I have tried EVERYTHING (well not surgery, but everyone is really hesitant to try that route). Is your sciatica from your back (L5-s1) or your piriformis? How did you get a diagnosis?
I understand your frustration :(
