Sciatic and numb foot everyday for 3 years now. I have issues in the other side of my body because you tend to over- correct. When I first herniated my back which led to all this, it did not matter at all what I took, gaba, lidocaine, shots in the ass, nothing got rid of the pain. It's helped some so I could sleep for a half hour at a time for about 3 months. Anyway yeah I understand the frustration of going through it daily. Some days I feel like I'm going to crack. Other days I'm just mentally numb.
