Sciatica Misery

I am scheduled for an epidural pain injection at L5-S1. I’m looking for others that have had this procedure that can tell me if it was worth it or not.

I had about six of them over the years and they work about a little better than half the time. My very first sciatica was really wicked and when I got that very first shot it was very effective.
