Hi Mary, As you might recall I was on Neurontin (Gabapentin)a few years ago which did absolutely nothing for me. As far as I am concerned it was a very...
That is very interesting about the Lyrica because I was put on it a while ago (did nothing for the pain) and within about three weeks I came down with what I...
Hey everybody: I made it through surgery and am SO glad it is behind me (no pun intended). I was really, really nervous because it was the first surgery I've...
Hi Leesa. I hope you are recovering well. Would you tell us your history of PS. Are you a runner? What do you think caused the PS? Fall on the butt? Was your...
Hi Mary: I'm doing surprisingly well. Had surgery 8 days ago and thought the recovery would be much worse than it has been so I'm very grateful for that. I...
Hi Leesa, Glad the surgery went well for you. Once you are over the surgery pain and weaned off the drugs maybe you could let us know if the surgery was a ...
Thanks James. The sciatic pain is much less since surgery but I know the meds play a part in that and the fact that I'm not walking much yet so I will keep...
Did the doctor find any abnormal anatomy (like the nerve running through the muscle) that predisposed you to developing PS? Thanks for the information, Mary ...
Jo recently reminded me of this article in the Massage Folder on our "Links" section. It has a great description of the bio-mechanical problem of PS & ...
I gave up after 3 weeks of PT and ART I am going to get an epidural today. The sciatica started on one side and last week I now have it on both sides which...
Epidurals are for "slipped" disks. They may or may not bring pain relief. My neighbor had one that worked. A couple of years later, she another one & it didn't...
Hi Mary After the "pain Dr." wanted to do the nerve ablation stuff, I decided to try some acupuncture first. Then my primary Dr. found a hernia, so I had to ...
Good to hear from you again. Sorry to learn about the hernia surgery. I'm analyzing the survey data and I can give a a sneak peek of the results. First, let me...
well, in looking at what he does for piriformis/SI issues, he does almost exactly what my PT's do to me. It helps tremendously. They, of course, give me some...
Hi all. Just a quick update since my surgery with Dr. Filler on Jan 29. Ran a couple very short errands two days ago and have some return pain in my leg and...
You are in the very early days of a long, tough recovery period. You have to expect good & bad days. Here is hoping you have more good than bad. Mary ...
Mary I believe I made a mistake. What I got was a transforaminal Lumbar injection. I did not gt what he calls an epidural. Don't know if that makes a...
Thanks for sharing your experience with Prolotherapy. I am shocked by the price. I bet it wasn't covered by insurance either. Regarding the transforaminal...
Are you kidding covered by insurance! Each visit was going to cost m $1200.00 and there was no way they could tell me how many visits it was going to take or...
Mary just curious could it be a disk problem on the one side and periformis-sacroiliac on the other? The newer sciatica pain is not on the disk side....
Rosalie - I suppose anything is possible. But I really can't say. Do any of your doctors think you have PS? And that is the cause of sciatica? It kind of...
Hey Julie. How are you doing? Last I heard you had decided to go to Dr. Barbaro instead of FIller because of money reasons. Is that still the plan? Where are ...
Someone who took the Treatment Outcomes Survey had 10 or more Botox injections. If you are that person, will you please send me an email. I need to ask a few, ...
Hey Mary, I'm still here. I'm waiting on the referral to Dr. Barbaro/Dr. Layzer. It looks like its going to be a long process but my local doctor in on board...
Another thing about ART...for me, I think it flared me up a little, too. When anyone gets there hands on me I think I need to request that they be VERY...
