i also have severe pain from sciatica & compressed nerves. i have had a laminectomy which did well for about a yr & a half. my neurologist wants me to go to another surgeon. 3 surgeons have told me i need a fusion. i do not want to have another operation b/c i think it may make things worse. my neurologist has put me on lyrica & swimming exercises. i take ibuprofen for pain now. it has helped as the lyrica is an excellent medicine for neuropathy & nerve pain. the swimming is a low impact resistance exercise that helps tremendously. and it's fun! i still have pain that can be severe at times. but it's much better than being on narcotics all the time. and i have real hope that i will never need another back operation.
