I've already had one surgery for an incisional hernia this year so my deductible is met. My physiatrist got me in to see a surgeon tomorrow and I am having epidural injection tomorrow afternoon. If it doesn't help I am going to get the surgery asap.

I just found out via MRI I have a L4/L5 protrusion that is pushing on a nerve. I also have a L5/S1 extrusion.
Sciatica pain at first with numb foot. Now more pain in my middle lower back, less sciatica, though I still have some numbness and tingling in my foot.

The injections usually help, I had one that calmed my down for 3 years. The last one lasted 9 months.
