I went through 7 months of agony with my sciatic nerve...until the surgery. I was up to 3 Oxys every two hours...and it was barely dulling the pain. Couldn't find any sort of comfortable position. Barely slept at night. I was beginning to feel like it was a forever condition I'd have to live with the rest of my life.
The surgery fixed it completely. However, the doc said there could be a relapse on the opposite side further down the road. So far...so good.
So hopefully there's a light at the end of the tunnel for you too, CD. Keep up the hope, they can do amazing things in surgery these days. I walked out of the hospital under my own power the same day as the surgery - no joke. I hate wheelchairs, lol.
Get well.
