Know how you feel but if you're bad keep on at the doctor, they wouldn't listen to me and now I'm totally screwed physically, suffered sciatic pain for around 20 years. I've always coped with it but in recent years it's got a lot worse. Been on various pain killers for ages but I'm at the point now that they aren't touching the pain but I get to enjoy all the side effects.

My back is a total mess, also got prolapsed disc but by lunch time every day I'm bent over now and can't walk properly. My shoulders are pinned back, my lower back is an S shape, my torso (when looking down) is about 2" over to the left from centre.

I've had a root block done but that did bugger all, was supposed to see the surgeon again after 8 weeks but they never bloody contacted me. Now I'm virtually an invalid currently waiting for another surgery appointment and I'm not settling for less than disc shaving or partial removal
