You really need to see a top neurosurgeon that can read MRI' films along with the best spinal specialist in your area. Trust me, the spinal specialist is hard to find. I am not talking about an orthopedic, they are not the same. It always helps to know where a person is from before recommending these specialist, because if you are in my area, I could tll you who to see. Since I don't know, you need to see a professor of neurology and a specialist he or she would recommend. Sometimes surgery works, sometimes it could irritate things, depending on the severity. This is one of many conditions of my husband, he will be on pain medication for the rest of his life, Vicodin. Sometimes the amount don't do the job but he knows better than to do any in excess. Unfortunately, it is addictive. Don't let anyone put those dam pain shots in your back. There is no miracle medicine for this, either pain medication, or surgery if it will help. Sorry to hear about your pain, believe me, hubby and I know what that is! It sucks! get yourself a good mattress. Sealy, comfort firm depending on your size and weight. If you are a large man, get the Sealy Hargrave set. It will help reilign your back and not hurt so bad at night and when you wake up. You can also try some different matresses out in the store, don't try to save a few bucks when shopping for this. It is worth the money, do it now while you can still get sale prices, it won't be long before the 06 and 07 prices kick in full force. Go to matresses World. P. S. make sure the hosp where you get the films taken is the best one, some don't take impressive films, the doctors can tell you where to get the CT scan, or MRI. CTs are better.

Well, there is a fairly new one-time treatment called Atlasprofilax. This treatment really seems to stop a main cause of sciatica, and I know of some persons who got rid of all symptoms within a short period of time.

Anyway, it's worth trying - you'll be amazed.

Just - the treatment is available in California and Europe only, costing approx. 220 dollars. It worth even a long journey! :-)
