Very Worried
Even if this doctor has some recommendations, I still want to see my regular doctor for his opinion.

Is this the same as an epidural? I have sciatic nerve pain from a herniated disc and am getting epidurals to help calm the nerve so the pain isn't as bad. Wonder if this is something you could ask about? I also take the 2 meds you take but the epidurals work the best. They are given 3 times a year a month apart. Just a thought?

Thanks for the epidural advice. I remember the doc mentioning that but this doc wasn't too thrilled about it for me. The nerve block shots I get are given in the neck. I can't wait til the other dr. comes back, they both have different views on how to treat me. Thanks for repsonding. That is something worth looking into more.0 -

Another route might be weekly acupuncture treatments. I've sent many of my clients for acupuncture and it's really helped them a lot. Just a thought. Hand in there - I'll keep you in my prayers.

treatments -- I did try them several years ago after yet again another sciatica flare up -- they did help ...
Also, homeopathic medicine may be another route to look into. I have used several doctors in Orange County, California and swear by them.
Do whatever possible to alleviate your ongoing pain. ...
Positive thoughts, and gentle hugs to you.

Vicki, I never thought of homeopathic meds. How do I go about finding help with that?
I have absolutely no clue.0 -

I just wanted to say I am thinking of you and hoping you'll be pain free soon.

even though I can't offer much advice since I haven't walked that path. Sounds like acupuncture might be a good option though.0
