I want to pull the trigger for the N+1 today but...

My plan is to go to the LBS and order the 2012 Defy 1, but I'm been battling some sciatica in my left leg. Went to a doc in the box on Sunday because I was going to be out of the left over Vicodin from my hand surgery. It would've been a very unpleasant day and likely a sleepless night waiting for Monday and being seen by my regular doc. The MD Express doc poked, prodded, pulled and stretched me. He stated that my piriformis muscle was putting pressure on my sciatic nerve causing the issues. He gave me scripts for Prednisone, Vicodin, and Flexeril. I stopped the Flexeril because I was loosing balance(knee buckling on stairs) and since the muscle relaxant wore off I've been fine. Didn't start the Prednisone until yesterday because I had taken Celebrex before seeing the Doc in the box. I'm doing various Piriformis stretches and walking a mile each day. Sciatica seems to be improving a little. Thursday last week was the last time I was on the comfort. I going to try again tomorrow, Wednesday, to see how it goes.

Well, to make a long story short, too late, I'm concerned that the sciatica will interfere with the advanced fitting to get a proper fit for the new roadie.

Opinions, advice?
