Anyone have sciatica?

I had it when I was younger. L4 went one way and L5 went the other, pinching the sciatic nerve. Made my right leg go numb or tremble. The back pain was horrific. Went to a doctor that said surgery was necessary. Went to another who told me cutting into my back at my age was a bad idea. He gave me a bunch of excercises to do and I went through a series of 3 shots into the spine to reduce the inflamation. I have been pretty good ever since. If I do too much pulling of heavy weight, it will act up for a couple weeks and I have some arthritus. I am not aa big fan of chiropractors but I know of people who say they have helped them with similar problems.
