I think I have pinched off my Sciatic nerve, and my leg has been numb for a few days. Have any of you been through this, and feel comfortable sharing/ recommending a good DR in N Utah county?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Id look to a neurosurgeon first. Reichman is the local superstar.

Never considered a Neurosurgeon. The issue is a slipped disk I'm pretty sure.

If it was numb and pain free I'd be fine, but It's the pain I have issue with.

I have pain too but to lazy to go back. Don't want the surgery.
