Does anyone recommend this epidural steroid injections for lower lumbar?bulging disc pain is about. 5 to 6. annoying. pain. bulging disc. high, intense pain when stretched?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epidural steroid injections work best when a lumbar nerve root is compressed. Even if successful, the duration of response is but a few months. A bulging disc may not even be the true pain generator. If you are able, seek consultation with a physiatrist. We may be able to evaluate at HT, more thoroughly, via a virtual consult (www.connect@healthtap.com).
