The two options open to me here in the UK is Narcotic based pain-relief which I don't want to start on, or relatively dodgy surgery , with severe risks. But to answer your ?, yes, they will cause sciatica dependent on which nerve root ends they are growing on.

I have them in my low back, causing me sciatica pain, as well as a bit more uncommon. the neck area. the pain I am in is debilitating. I know we can all sympathize with each other. I am taking carisoprodol for fibro pain. that is what I am taking at the moment, as I have had such bad reactions to many of the pain relievers. and which one of us just wants to mask our pain. we need something done in our behalf
