| My name is Blanche Dillon, I live just outside Dallas, Texas. I had suffered from sciatic pain for ten years and severe sciatic pain constantly for over three years. I had surgery on November 9th, 2001, and am completely cured. I am so thrilled I feel the need to share my history and give hope and encouragement to others who might have a similar conditon. I am riding Storm a three-year-old I will now continue training. This picture was taken a month after my surgery around the beginning of December 2001. |

This surgery has changed my life. I am now free from all pain. For those of you who suffer from a similar misery I want to share with you THAT THERE IS HOPE and not to give up. I have broken this site down into four sections: my medical history and symptoms, the presurgical treatments I underwent, finding the correct physician. (You might want to go here first!) Finally there is the surgical procedure that eliminated my problem and made me pain free! I hope you find this site helpful and can use it as a tool to give your physican some guidance. Feel free to email me with any questions or comments and I will try to help. Give me any information describing the tests you have had, medication and treatment. GO IN TO DETAIL! Tell me where your pain is located and how long you have had it, whether it is your lower back or actually in the hip area, the way mine was. Can you press the area and make it sore? Please tell me what your doctor says. Also, let me know if you have gained weight and how much exercise you get. WITHOUT THIS INFO I CAN'T GIVE YOU MY OPINIONS. I am not a doctor but have learned a wealth of information and if I can give you direction, I will. --Blanche My email is: |
