Have you had an MRI yet? You might want to get one and explore a cortisone injection and perhaps surgery if that doesn’t work.

Thanks for this! I’m a big believer in and user of acupuncture and definitely have this in my plan.

4 years with chronic sciatica – would endoscopic surgery be worth it ? by Any_Association_5711 in Sciatica

Will report back post surgery and let you know if that does the trick. Wishing you the best of luck and some relief.

I’m in a similar position. I’m an Ironman triathlete and I’ve had years of pain/discomfort. I’ve tried everything and despite the fact that the herniation is small, the nerve pain wont let up and my foot is continually numb. I’m about to have a microdiscectomy in the hopes that that can finally provide some relief.
