Chinaski.....don't hesitate. Do it.
I had my severe disc issue last summer and found myself barely able to walk from the sciatic pain. After trying several other corrective measures, I finally saw a pain management doc and started a series of the shots. I had a total of three and it's the best thing I ever did. Four days after the first shot, I was able to walk again almost pain free. I had two more over the next 6 weeks and was 95% better. I still have a little sciatic pain now and then but am still approx. 98% better than last summer. It's been almost a year since the last one and I would get another tomorrow if I started hurting.
The shot is nothing...the first one is a pain killer that feels like a bee sting..then the epidural shot is painless. You may feel a little pressure or sensation down your leg but not much pain.
Good luck!
