Hello

I have studied your case.

Steroid shot will not cure disease of disc .It only will give long term pain relief.
Pain may come after some period of time.
I will advise you to take neurotropics like methylcobalamine for improving your disc pain.
Many of my patients with multiple diseases find great relief by doing yoga, pranayama.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
