Specializes in Pain Management

Tough problem: The fact that she has been suffering for two years is not promising. I would assume that she has had PT, injections and a surgical consult by now. If not a surgical candidate and is requiring meds for pain management, then she may be a candidate for a spinal cord stimulator. Most experienced pain management specialists can discuss these issues and treatment options.

Get a 2nd opinion fr: Neuromusculoskeletal medicine (NMM) specialists, or D.O.'s practicing in MD/ DC/ PA, who can offer you a 2nd opinion, evaluation & TREATMENT to address what is exacerbating your sciatica, and decompress your lower back's bulging discs at L4-L5, along with the SI joint, sacrum, and it's impact into your neck, shoulders, head. Give it a try! Nothing to lose. U may get relief quicker than u think!
