I doubt at 83 years old surgery would be out of the question, but
I do have a appointment with a neurosurgeon in Gainsville in a couple weeks

Any ideas going forward

Cheers
I’m 75 & I don’t have Sciatic nerve problems like I use to but when I did get Sciatic pain I always took 2 Ibuprofen & within an hr. the pain would be gone. At 83 yrs. old I think surgery would have been out of the question for me . I agree, the worst thing for me about Sciatic pain was sleeping. I guess you know how bad your problem is. Sciatic pain is terrible, if you never tried Ibuprofen, try it 1st before surgery!!!
