Epidural steroid injection (ESI) for pain

I had the Steroid Epidural two weeks ago to address my " Moderate to Severe Spinal Stenosis" and it hasn't really worked.
I had been having dry needling for 5 months, so the procedure was tolerable for me.
My pain on my right side buttox and down leg is still there, though it was maybe 20% better for the first few days only. It did nothing for the tingling every time I go from sitting to standing.
I have an appt with a Neurologist at the Pain Mgmt Center to see if I can get the MILD procedure, since my severe areas are L4/L/5. If anyone has had this please post your results.
Thank you
