@vincescs you have a point, from your experience… does getting the shots ever totally prevent surgery ? Or does it just put it off ? Of course, there are all kinds of complicating factors, like health status when choosing shots or surgery…

@nycmusic - disc herniations can sometimes heal on their own with conservative treatment, so if you can break the inflammation cycle with one or more epidural steroid injections you may be able to delay or even avoid surgery. I managed to put off back surgery for 20 years with epidural steroid injections. Of course everyone's situation is different.
