The results of my X-Ray shows degenerative damage L 3 and 5 I believe it is and that is affecting the Sciatic nerve.

The GP can't prescribe any decent pain killers because of my Kidney condition and has just about given up. The Physio at the GP surgery hasn't even bothered to phone following the X-Ray she arranged. I have booked to see a Consultant privately but not till 7th December. I'm hoping he can help because I don't fancy being like this from now on.
Sorry to hear that Dave.
Physios in the NHS are run ragged so don't hold your breath.
My non medical guess is to have an op to fuse vertebrae. Not favourite but may be the best answer
