Folks have recovered from worse (I know) so I am hopeful I will do the same and help others too- SOON!
I found my PCP to be useless in terms of my sciatica. Same thing--attack the symptoms and not the cause. I finally asked for an MRI. The radiologist who read it said Oh, nothing out of order. I got it on a cd & took it to a chiro, who read it, immediately found the problem and showed it to me on the screen. I have no faith in Lake Imaging--won't even go there for my mamo.


I took the cd to Dr. Kuhn (did not care for the first chiro), and the rest is history--or should I say pain free.
