Hi
this is Dr Nilay Shah
what problem you have told was nothing but sciatica pain
which was radiating downwards
also its root value includes L3 and L4 vertebrae
Hence bcos of impingement of that nerve u were getiin pain in back
and was radiating downwards
What can be done in your case is with chiropratise nerve has to be
decompressed only than pther treatments will help you
bcos the rot has to be treated
also it does not take so long as you have mentioned
Regarding Acupuncture
There are 5 types of it
and you do just Su jok
thts another reason for dealy in cure
hope ive answered your querry

regards
DR. NILAY SHAH
