The only thing he's having to cope with right now is pain from his sciatic nerve which is caused by a herniated disk. He tolerates pain amazingly well, but this is really hurting him. The Extra Strength Tylenol he's been taking to help relieve the pain can be an issue with the liver, so if it's not one darn thing it's another. He's started seeing an accuputure practitioner, as the neurologist says his only option is surgery since 2 epidurals didn't touch the pain and he isn't keen on having back surgery. Seems like all pain killers are processed through the liver, so I'm really hoping the accupuncture treatment helps him.
