Ok thanks for the advice, for now I will go ahead with the epidural, and maybe try a second one if it helps enough the first time around.
When referring to shaving down the facet joint I meant for microdriscectomy, I am prepared to deal with the changes in spinal integrity if my condition does not improve. I honestly feel that all I’ve learned about core strengthening, posture, and lifting mechanics would prevent another herniation from occurring but since I can’t know for sure, I am going to put off surgery at all costs like I have been doing, I just don’t want my situation to keep getting worse and end up with a fully sequestered disc because I didn’t get surgery and just let the thing heal. I may post bak again in the future, thanks again
