The disc decompression table has really helped the sciatic nerve problem tremendously. Good luck bro...I know what you're dealing with. PM if I can help.
This is the best surgeon in southeast Louisiana...if you're interested.

Don't know this doc, but I would trust Salty on this 100%.
Dammit lost my train of thought (percocet daily). The above web site has a ton of info on it.
The chripractor helped me immensley for a while, but eventually it did not help.
