If I have a herniated disk or sciatica is chiropractic care going to help me?

May 2nd

Ive been in pain for 4-6 months and ive seen a chiropractor 3 times. Today is the worst pain I have been in since the 4-6 months. Im thinking the chiropractor is full of crap and is just trying to string me out for my money.

Should I go see a neurologist and get an actual medical opinion rather than a fake doctor?

I think I have a pinched nerve because I often get really severe pain going down one of my arms. I know I need to see a doctor, but until then is there any way to help the pain? Is there any posture/stretch/etc that I can try?

Does anyone have a bulging disk which caused a lot of pain? If so, did you get cortizone injections and if you did how much relief from pain did you get? What has been the best pain relief?
