Hi

I have stenosis of my lower limber back & recently I have sciatica pain in both buttocks & both upper thighs, it been driving me mad for over six weeks now, I have had nerve block injections which relieved the pain for only 24 hours, I am now looking at having surgery to get rid of this awful sciatic but my neurosurgeon is doing is best to put me off having surgery, basically he is saying there will be no negotiation after the surgery if the surgery is not successful & I have worse pain than before.

Has anyone had this surgery & what were the results ?

    Hi Chico

    Thanks for your kind words & your advice.

    To be honest I am running out of steam, the only consultant I really trust does not seem to want to deal with me, I really don't know what I have done to offend him. the only thing I have done is pushed for right man to do the right procedure.

    Have a Great Xmas & New Year my friend, & many thanks again !
