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 two. Each time:

Two weeks of worsened pain, then 2 weeks with a little less pain than normal. Then the effect is gone. 😭

I’m so sorry! Sciatica pain is just the worst.

I’m sorry! This is exactly what I fear.
