Have you consider about Ayurvedic treatment [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda]? It's based on the philosophy of Balancing the senses.

Compared to western medicine, where focus is on attacking the infection and thereby causing other ailments, Ayurveda treatment will help to keep the balance of the system, which would be more comfortable.

Just give a thought on it. In this part of the world, there are lot of cases that were miraculously cured through Ayurvedic treatment.

Hope you will get better soon!



why the downvotes? I don't understand. laktek is making a suggestion.

As someone who has gone thru the whole onslaught of visiting several doctors for my sciatica plus degenerating lumbar discs - I was told by many doctors in the US that I am at the risk of being paralyzed . To put it mildly, I was scared. I then went for 2 months to India(kerala) where they diagnosed my problem as something that was the result of digestive problems. I had no faith in the daily treatment; I questioned the rationale of what they were doing(eg- enema with herbs and medical oil) to morning-medical-castor-oil treatments. But after 2 weeks, I was not limping.After 3 months, I was walking normal as anyone. At the end, I was told by the ayurvedic doctors that any more chemicals(by that they meant allopathic medicine) and my body would have made slower progress.

I also went thru the insurance drama- doctor 'adviced' me to take an x-ray so not to get into insurance troubles. So a whole 2 weeks later - I get my mri to know which of my discs have problem. There was this pain specialist who was so eager to take me 'once more' to the operation theatre to chip out a part around the disc(which he did twice). The nerve specialist was another story - interested in my occupation and annual salary over my pain.
