Standing was bad...but sitting was even worse for me. Hell, I couldn't even find a comfortable position lying down on the bed. I was up to two oxycotins every two hours...and that wasn't taking the pain away. Sometimes I'd take three...still not much better. The upper leg felt like a constant charlie horse...like I'd been kicked by a mule. And several toes on my foot were completely numb. I was starting to think it'd be a chronic, permanent condition. I didn't hesitate to opt for the surgery...despite the risks.
The surgeon I had was one of the best - he'd been doing the sciatic nerve surgery for decades...even had it done on himself. I had total confidence in him - and he did a great job.
You'll do fine. And once the healing's done you'll likely be surprised how much better you'll be. I'm back to 100% and have no pain even after hiking trails for miles.
