Hi Nell
The first time I experianced sciatica was Jan 12, 2002. 8AM How could I forget?
You know what I'm saying, and I know how you feel.
You are having disc problems down low. Ck out this film

The blue section in the video is your annulus fibrosis. Its like a car tire and the nucleus is like crab meat. When your annulus fibrosis wears and ages, it can weaken and crack allowing the crab meat to hit your nerves.

My pain lasted 9 months and I took Bextra and Celebrex. Regular Chiropractic did not work, Osteopathy didn’t work, Accupuncture didn’t work, (He wasn’t Chinese)LOL. The things that did work were swimming in the ocean, and VAXD treatments. The ocean therapy actually worked quickly, and I quit the NSAIDS immediately after. Somehow, the release of gravity, and exercise allowed the nucleus to retract, and thus the pain ceased. I went about another year, then the sciatica started again, hit the ocean, solved the problem again. VAXD is a pulling machine, very expensive and painful, after 8 treatments, it worked. After all the failures, I figured Id go to Hawaii on vacation in major pain.
It worked! Not a bad idea huh?
All of my sciatica events triggered my scoli surgeries. My 4 herniated discs were comfirmed by Iohexol Cts. I had a 70 degree curve down low.
I too, blamed my old Doctor from years ago. In 1965, he recommended 9 hrs of sleep vs 8 hrs. There is no blame for scoliosis. There just isn't.
I'm truly sorry this is happening to you. Those were some very painful times for me.
Careful with the NSAIDs, do not overdo those.
Good luck
Ed
