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

I had sciatica for 3 years. The only thing that helped was a TENS unit. I wore it for 2 years before I had surgery. I also had Lidocaine patches. That was the only way I could not stick an ice pick in my ear. After surgery I woke up but was afraid to move. I had no pain. After an I finally moved my leg and had no pain!! Also you could try TheraWorkx for muscle cramps. It works great. Good luck on your relief.
