Dear Patient: In sciatica, the cause for pain is the compression of nerve roots in the lumbosacral vertebrae. In elderly women it is due to the wearing out of intervertebral discs and subsequent nerve root compression also associated with osteoporosis. Various treatment options range from just medicines and lumbar support to surgical correction. Lumbar discectomy and replacement are the options available. You can consult a neuro physician for surgical procedure after having an orthopedician's opinion.
