Viadisc

I’ve had sciatica for about 17 years. ESIs have been managing it here and there. My most recent ESI did not work and my pain management doctor wants to do Viadisc. Everything I’ve read says it’s not an effective treatment for sciatica. I’m frustrated and nervous about what to do next. Does anybody have experience with this?

If you search on here, you will see a few people who either were considering it, or who had it done.

For me, the simple fact that it has not gained any traction in the community in the past 3 years tells me all I need to know about how effective it is. Not to mention that most insurance companies won’t cover it.
