See a good neurologist. I had sciatic nerve pain which caused me to have "foot flop". I had two epidural shots which gave me some relief, but my neurological surgeon examined me and said I would need surgery "right away" or the nerve damage could become permanent. I had the surgery and it was successful, but about six months later had sciatic pain again. Went to the surgeon who recommended I see the pain specialist, who gave me another epidural, which has left me pain free for a year and a half
