Hi,

Thanks for sharing concern. My sciatica nerve still irritates me when I walk fast and while driving also.

Should I go again for endoscopic surgery ? I had done same in April 16 but no relief.

Brief Answer:
Depends on operated surgeon.

Detailed Answer:
A nerve conduction study can help in confirmation of diagnosis. Pregabalin or gabapentin and methylcobalamin supplements will reduce the irritation. It is best to consult a neurologist for the further opinion on endocsopy surgery.


The second surgery depends on your surgeon's opinion. It is very difficult to comment without physically examining.
1. Chiropractor Spinal Adjustments
2. Yoga and Stretching
3. Acupuncture and Massage Therapy
4. Avoid Sitting for Long Periods, Get Moving!
5. Use Heating Pads

These are other treatments which will give you relief. You can try them before opting for another surgery

Take care.
