I had a problem with my sciatic nerve. It was due to a herniated disc that pressed on the nerve. I tried it all--physical therapy, epidural shots, steroids (gave temporary relief for a few days), a unit that delievered electricity to the area, chiropractor, rest, ice, and finally, 25 Advil a day. I was in pain all of the time! I finally went to a neurosurgeon, after an MRI, had the surgery (microdiscketomy--spelling?) and 8 years later, I am still pain free! I wish you the same.
