Too bad it only lasted 6 months for you--I was told it can last up to 3 years but I kind of doubted if it would last that long.
I am taking Neurontin now while I wait for the procedure.
Thanks

Ummm I would have to say it at first it alleviated the pain at about 80%. Enough for me to function and sleep without thinking about the pain.
Unfortunately I think it is failing. I have had it done 3 times now and this last time isn't lasting as long as the other 2 had. I don't know what exactly was different, but the sciatica is back a little. I think I need another MRI to see what is going on there.
