A member asked:
Could my lp shunt have caused the sciatic nerve to be inflamed or encourage it to continue? ive had terribly severe sciatica pain for two months now!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
L.p. shunt: Since spinal nerve irritation is listed as a possible problem with lp shunts, I would ask an expert who places these shunts whether sciatic nerve irritation could occur in your case. A neurosurgeon is best qualified to answer your question.
