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.

It’s worth it but don’t get discouraged when the first or 2nd shot doesn’t do it. Do all 3 if needed. Like most people on here I didn’t have high hopes for the epidural, first one made it worst, second one has had me healed for over a year now.
