Having had major back problems myself in the past, I have so much sympathy for you. (just recovering from two-level spinal fusion).
I understood that epidural injections were used to relieve pain, not to actually treat the cause.
My surgeon said that epidural injections were a waste of time as it will only relieve pain for a short while. I'm guessing that surgery may be your only answer. Have you been referred to a consultant?

Hiya.
I had mine done in November 2006 and it was brilliant.
It took about 24-36 hours to really feel the benefit and it mainly continues to this day............
I'm still on a good regime of pharmaceutical pain relief but the pain I feel now compared to the pain I had before is almost negligible..........

Marion, hoping that you are still trying your best to find the right person who can help you get back to normal. Well, I am ready to do what others can't. But you have to remember that your full cooperation is very important when doing the correct methods of exercises while determination to achieve your goal to become pain-free will come from the heart. Thanks. Sidney
