Be seen: You need to see your neurosurgeon if the epidural steroid injections have not worked, to discuss other options.

Evaluation: The best person to ask is the doctor who referred you for the epidural injections. It may be that the problem is not amenable to the epidural or that other problems may be the cause or in addition. Its possible you just need time for the pain to improve but a specialist in back pain is the best resource.
