Following years of Sciatic pain, and severe gesticulation's within my right leg (and the suffering I encountered every time I played sport or carried out physical work - I decided to proceed with an operation on my lower back Posterior excision of disc prolapse at L4/L5 (including microdiscectomy +/- decompression) - lumbar region (1 or 2 levels) Carried out by Mr Chitnavis.. Although nothing is guaranteed which was detailed within the reports I received, I was advised that the success rate could be as high as 93%.. Unfortunately 16 months later and I still have sciatic pain and indeed worsening gesticulations in my right leg, which unfortunately prevents me from most activities.. In hindsight I regret having the operation, although when in pain we all look for trying to improve the situation.

Response from Mr Bhupal Chitnavis
Thank you for providing this feedback. I’m disappointed to hear that you continue to experience difficulty. The figure you quote for remediation of sciatica following on from surgery is correct. Unfortunately the success rates for resolution of sciatica are not 100% and it’s difficult to predict presurgically which patients will fare less well. Thanking you once more for your comments and wishing you well.
