Okay, i went to the doctor and got diagnosed with a pinched sciatic nerve in the back of my upper thigh. the pain is terrible and everyone that i’ve talked to has said that back surgery is the only option to remove the pain. i have heard of muscle therapy but i’m afraid that it wouldn’t work, but i don’t want surgery to be my only option… is there anyone out there that has had this problem and fixed it without using a scalpel? and if yes, what did you do?

If I don’t have health insurance, should I still see a doctor if I think I have a pinched sciatic nerve? By the way im a 24 y.o. male

I have a Pinched Sciatic Nerve, I went to the doctor and the meds I got aren’t helping. The pain in my leg is overwhelming, what can I do?

i believe i have a pinched sciatic nerve
what does the doctor to do determine if i do or dont?

I have had pain extending from my lower back all the way down through my left leg for a while now. I researched a little on the internet and think I might have a pinched sciatic nerve, or a herniated disk.

my boyfriend has been having terrible back pain from a pinched sciatic nerve for the past week. he has a hard time getting up from a sitting position, bending over and lately hasnt even been able to pick up our 17 month old daughter. we cannot afford to send him to a chiropractor or a doctor so does anyone know of any stretches or homeopathic remedies that would help relieve some of the pain? thank you!

I have had this pinched sciatic nerve now for over two months. I would like to find out if any one knows any good treatment that really works!
I have tried everything from going to the chiropractor to sitting on a golf ball!
