re: Sciatica from L5-S1 disc.... choosing a treatment option

mild bulge in my L5-S1 disc. Nothing that warrants surgery, but they want to do an injection there to see if it will work.

I did the injection and then started physical therapy. I had to get 1 more injection a few months later. That was 14 years ago, and I have not had pain since then. I did go on to lose some weight and I now stretch daily to make sure that I am loose and not putting extra pressure on my back.
