Have they considered that perhaps L5-S1 disc is going bad? I haven't read back far enough to know if they have done discogram recently to try and explain the sciatic pain. That is what I have, and the blame all goes to my L5-S1 disc. I have pain (but no numbness) that rockets down my hamstring, though usually stops at my knee, occ ventures more distally. How about facet blocks to make sure they are not the problem? Piriformis syndrome? I'm just ticking off all the things I have run across in this odyssey....
