I have an inflamed sciatic nerve in my behind and upper thigh. Some days, not much of a problem. Other days, a lot more of a problem. Doctor said that's the kind of stuff they are good for. I've been seeing the chiro for a couple of months with some marginal improvement, but no cure.
So when I saw the doc last week and we talked about my sciatica and that even with the slight improvement, I was still having problems, he said I guess it's time to send you to an orthopedist for a steroid shot. I didn't know whether to be irritated because he didn't send me there first or amazed that he was open minded enough to suggest the chiro as a first option.
