Case Summary | My experience with Sciatica
| Condition | Back Lower (Lumbar) Sciatica |
| Case Description | I'm 28 years old and 5 moths ago I started having problems with my lower back.I was hurt like 5 or 6 months prior, but I certainly took it for granted...Until one night I experienced excruciating pain!It was so bad i couldn't even go to the bathroom by myself.My doctor recommended some Diclofenac,but it was of no help.Later I had to receive injections,but the pain was still present.My doctor sent me to a neurosurgeon,I did a MRI.After seeing the results he told me I have to get the lumbar surgery.I never been so scared in my life!I had the surgery,everything went just fine.I was so refiled.I'm still rehabilitating,but I can say with certainty that that horrible pain is almost gone! Overall it was i positive experience,and I would do it again.No one should ever be in that amount of pain! |
