I'm in the same boat. I'm 37. I've had a pinched siatic nerve for about 5 years now and have been going to a chiropractor ever since to keep it under control. In September I heniated a disc and have been out of work since. Did 2 months of therapy but it's still not 100%, maybe 60%. My job as an auto tech involves a lot of bending and lifting, so I'm screwed if this thing doesn't get better. I'm going back to the orthopedic doctor next week to talk about an epidural block. I've talked to several people who say it worked great. I hope so.
