    I am suffering from sciatic nerve pain which radiates towards left leg, prior to that I have had a disk operation before in 2005 and have been leaving a normal life. Two months ago i start to experience excruciating pain that radiates from my buttocks down to my leg. I don’t want to do another operation, therefore I am asking for a lasting solution to this pain without having an operation.
