A member asked:
Is corticosteriod injection for severe sciatic pain helpful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If severe sciatic pain is properly diagnosed and it is due to nerve root compression and truly radiates down the leg, epidurals can be part of the treatment plan. Along with the injections, neuropathic agents and physical therapy are an important part of the treatment.
