Problem with sciatica, cortizone injection did nothing, what kind of doctor should I see?
I seem to be in more and more pain daily. I have been taking norco 10/325 but it barely helps. the pain is completely debilitating. I can't work or do day-to-day activities. It's a SHARP pain on the left side of my lower back radiating down my hip and leg (pain is there all the time!). My effected leg seems to be getting weaker and weaker by the day. I have started to develop a limp when I walk. The pain is accompanied by tingling all the way down to my foot (sometimes). Seems to be getting worse and worse. Since the injection didn't help I was wondering if I had any other treatment options and what kind of specialist I should see. I do not have the financial benefit of going to many different doctors so I want to get it right the first time. Please help.. Can't take the pain much longer and there doesn't seem to be anything that helps as far as I can see.

This is from an article about sciatic pain relief, hope it helps:
"
What Causes Sciatic Pain
The root cause of most of this symptom is - Muscle Imbalances. A muscle imbalance happens when you have over-developed and tight muscles in one area of your body, while the opposing muscles are weaker and stretched out of their normal position. Medication, back massages and even work out and stretches will not get you sciatic pain relief! The only way to truly solve this is returning the muscle balance back.
Why the Traditional Treatments Don't Work
The traditional treatments include NSAIDs drugs, Cortisone injections, ultrasound, exercise and electrical stimulation. These treatments do not address the muscle imbalance - the root of the problem. That's why most people do not find relief and suffer for years.
What is The Best way to Get Sciatica Relief?
Muscle Balance Therapy is one of the most powerful tools you can use to achieve sciatic pain relief - for good. The Greeks knew about this 2500 years ago. But like many natural therapies it was lost and replaced by conventional medical treatments that focus on symptom relief instead of solving the actual problem itself!
It starts with assessing the problem - finding out accurately where are the imbalances. Once that's done you will finally find the core to your problem - and learn to immediately correct it for good."

You should check this Sciatica Natural Treatment
Normally, I would not answer a question like this as my expertise is generally in medication but I had severe sciatica while I was pregnant with my 3rd child (after having had twins) and I had sciatica so bad that I was finding it difficult to walk. I tried massage therapy and physical therapy and could not take medication
I went to the chiropractor and the pain was instantly relieved. My hips and lower back were out of alignment because I had carried twins the year before. On occasion a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) can also work but they usually only work on one joint at a time - the chiropractor will do your whole back which works faster. Anyone who does not believe in chiropractors will tell you they are quacks - don't listen.
I don't necessarily believe that chiropractors can cure things like diabetes but they can definitely relieve some types of back pain especially if a pinched nerve is involved which is usually the cause of sciatica. Try a reputable chiropractor ASAP!
