Billy Bob, it's hard to make people understand about chronic pain. I spent most of my adult life as an athlete and could work through severe pain. Lower levels of pain that lasts weeks, months or years can be far worse that short lived, intense pain.
I'd be curious to hear the details of the MRI. In my experience, you cannot depend on most spine surgeons to properly evaluate piriformis syndrome or SI joint dysfunction. Both of these can closely mimic typical sciatica from lumbar problems.
Where do you live?
