I'm getting a epidural next week.  I've had them b/f, they only provide relief for a few weeks if i'm lucky.  I see a pain management doc.  I don't know what will stop the pain.  I've done just about everything for pain relief, I'm so tired of this.  Where is the magic cure? Pill?.  I hope you are feeling better.

I can answer half of the question.....maybe

I have five bulging disks in my lumbar spine.....no treatment needed unless they or one gets worse. You should not need any treatment.
