Default sciatic pain

i had a lamo way back in 1979, however the surgery never relieved anything, in fact i felt worse after that surgery. my surgeon said i would be in for many more surgeries and most likely fusion. although i held off for almost 30 yrs, my ADR surgery was for me the best thing i have ever done. So to wait it out, i am not sure that is a good idea. you should maybe get another opinion, as it seems a lil strange that your Doc is recommending ADR as your solution, but it's definetly worth checking out with the right Doc.
