Obviously the consultant needs to advise me, but I won't be seeing him until the procedure in a couple of weeks time, so I thought I'd canvas opinions and experiences to think about.
Basically I've got a bulging L5S1 that is putting pressure on the nerve.
If rest, physio, NSAIDs and Gabapentine have reduced symptoms enormously, are the benefits of the injection still worth the risks?
I'm due to go back to work only two days before the procedure, so I have no idea yet how I will feel when I'm unable to rest.
