My husband has had a sciatica condition for 6 years. He just had a total knee replacement and due to the sciatica condition, the PT for his knee replacement is next to impossible. He has been to a chiropractor, accupuncturist, back surgeon, had X-rays, and MRI taken, steroid shots in the back (twice) and nothing helps or shows up on the tests. The only thing they say is he has arthritis in his back. His is only 60 yrs old and is getting worse every day. He was active and golfing up to about 1 year ago, then the pain got too bad for him to continue his golfing.
The only thing he hasn't accomplished is losing weight. He weighs 250 lbs and is only 5' 7". My question: Has anyone out there actually had an ongoing sciatica condition like this..........lost weight...........and had it make a difference in the sciatica condition? I know losing weight will make you feel better anyway, but specifically did it help your sciatica condition? Thanks
