I went to Dr. Girod at Baton Rouge ortho. I went to lake after hours first they have me muscle relaxer, pain reliever, and anti inflam . A day later I couldn't feel my right leg and I went to the er. I was in hospital for three days and got the spinal epidural. I had my follow up last week and they want me
to give injection more time. I asked if I should go to chiro and they said stay away the could do more damage. I go back on the 30th
but I am in so much pain. I do some Mckenzie stretching which helps.

Bs about the first epidural not working. Often the first doesn't do much. If the second does nothing then don't bother with third. You need to give this more time despite how miserable.

Stay with Mckenzie. Follow it all. That means chunk recliners and learn to watch posture
I have fought this shite for 14 years. I was in medical field and knew better but ended up jumping the gun on surgery. Now have had 4 surgeries. Pain is relative. What I thought was a 10 before surgery would have been a 5 after
Hold off on surgery until there is no other option. It may take a while but stay on Mckenzie. It really will work. Just not overnight
