A member asked:
Please help, how much pain relief can i expect from cortizone (hydrocortisone) injections into a bulging disk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Epidural steroid injections work very well in a lot of patients, but in order to work, the pain must really be caused by the disk bulge, when frequently it isn't. You are more likely to have relief if you are having the right constellation of symptoms. Pain doctors can be very helpful.
