Hi
If at injection site there's no induration,swelling or redness, your symptoms may be due to L5S1 nerve roots impingement ,so epidural injection been given.nowadays,surgeons give ozone injection therapy to shrink protruded disc and it gives dramatic pain relief.You may try it if your spine surgeon agrees.
Take myoril 4 mg tabs and lumbar traction for 10 days and wear lumbosacral brace for lower back to avoid forward bending and twisting of spine
