A member asked:

Does having a trigger point injection help a herniated disk at l5 s1? i have a lot of pain in a certain spot that shoots down my leg to my ankle help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maybe: The most reliable injection is an epidural steroid injection. Most pain specialists use a series of 3 injections over 3-4 weeks. Trigger point injections may help if you have very localized pain.
