I HAVE SUFFERED IN CHRONIC PAIN FOR THE LAST 3 YRS, SINCE I WAS INJECTED IN MY LOWER BACK. NO ONE HAS FOUND OUT ANYTHING, BUT THE WORD SCIATIC NERVE KEEPS COMING UP. I ASSUMED THAT IT WAS HIT DURING AND EPIDURAL INJECTION. I AM ON PAIN MEDICATION AND I CAN STILL FEEL IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH I TAKE, IT BURNS LIKE HELL! I WISH I COULD FIND A REAL CURE FOR THIS SO I WANT SUFFER NO MORE, AND I CAN GET BACK TO MY LIFE, AND MY FAMILY AND BE RELIEVE ALSO.
Hello, I would need more symptom description to validate the possibility that your sciatic nerve was likely injected with anesthetic material, however, the point is that you are experiencing chronic pain.  There are a variety of approaches to your pain, but mostly they involve looking for medications or cocktails of different medications.  There are devices such as a VA GAL NERVE STIMULATOR and then, are surgical procedures such as RHIZOMES though I truly am not a fan of the latter procedure due to long term bad outcomes that often come about in many patients where pain comes back even worse than before.  I believe your best option is to work with your pain management specialist looking for the optimal combo of Chat Doctor.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care
