I completely understand where you are coming from. I have been dealing with severe sciatica pain for about two years now. After trying every alternative treatment there is I was finally referred to a orthopedic surgeon. As soon as he looked at my mri he recommended a microdiscectomy. It's now been two weeks since my surgery and I am still feeling the sharp pains in my hip and shooting down my left leg. I cant believe after all I have gone through I am still in pain. I am really hoping a little walking will loosen this up and stop the leg pain. I never imagined I would have to go through all this at 23 years old. I have my follow up apt with my surgeon this week so I am hoping for some good news.
I hope your pain subsides and I wish you a speedy recover. I know is pain isn't a joke.
