My lower back is junk

I just cringe at the thought of back surgery. I'll live with the pain. Have for years.
Also have Sciatica all the way down my right leg.
Caused by a bulged disc or irritation from arthritis or a bone spur. If a Chiro doesn't help (or accupuncture) you may need minor surgery. A friend had orthoscopic surgery to remove the spur and was on the golf course in a week. It was outpatient.
