Sciatica nerve pain
I have been facing this issue since years and have consulted multiple waste doctors but no one treated correctly. Pain occurres periodically with 3 to 4 months gap when it comes my situation will be HORRIBLE as I wouldn't be able to move a inch. I come to normal when I take pain killer only. There is severe pain on right hip/lower back and nerve gets compressed badly that gives me a feel like to cut down my leg😞. I'm thinking about surgery but not sure whether it give me permanent solution or not.
