Specializes in Pain Management

Spine Specialist: You may be a candidate for an epidural steroid injection to relieve this pain. Also some surgeons may do surgery if needed. Lastly you could consider a percutaneous discectomy since it is less invasive than surgery however you do need to be the best candidate.
