Struggling with sciatica pain

Pham,

I've been struggling with flareups of pain in both of my upper legs due to sciatic nerve pinching. it's my belief that it was caused from excessive sitting (in my wheelchair)… muscles tightening and pinching the sciatic nerve. I really hope it's not due to a "slipped disc" in my back because it might mean that I have to get a CT Scan… and that would mean an additional pain because it's not going to be very easy for me to get one. And  surgery is not going to be an option because I have scoliosis--- curvature of the spine that was corrected with the fusing of metal rods in my back.

The sciatica is pretty painful and I'm having difficulty doing much of anything. Stretches and painkillers help a little... But not a whole lot. I made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor... But there are no availabilities before August 3. Please pray that something opens up for me, or I find another doctor. But mostly, please pray that the pain goes away.
