Consult with MD: If your pain persists despite a trial of physical therapy, and if there is pain/numbness extending down either leg, you may benefit from an epidural steroid injection. Not everyone agrees that those injections are appropriate, but those work well in selected patients. You should consult with a spine specialist.
