Surgery is reserved for pain that does not get controlled with conservative measures and provided the disc prolapse is causing nerve root compression. Your mri does not sound that drastic. Consult a spine surgeon who may offer you epidural steroid injection and that will also help him decide if surgery can be useful for you.

Hi lybrate user, I believe you had been given either transforaminal epidural (nerve block) or caudal epidural for disc herniation. Nerve block reduces the inflammation caused by inflammatory chemicals from disc material but it doesn't reduce the disc size or repair it. So we can say i'm acute case nerve block is very helpful but it may not reduce the herniation part. You mentioned pain while sitting on left buttock, it could be due to sacroilitis (sacroiliac joints inflammation, when someone having low back ache it's rare that only one component of spine is responsible for pain, there could be facetal arthritis, sacroilitis, piriformis syndrome, quadratus lumborum syndrome, para spinal muscle spasm gets associated with primary disc herniation pathology or vice versa. So there are multiple components of pain in 1 patient. When you report severe most pain, we try to resolve that pain first, but it doesn't mean all pain can be treated by one injection or tablet. For this constant watch is required. In your case your Dr. Might have given injection for discogenic pain which was primary at that point, now you might have main pain from sacroiliac joints and there might be some other component as well, have a close consultation with one specialist till he gives up on diagnosis or treatment or you are not happy with relief you get.

Spine block injection is a technique of injecting a cocktail of pain reliving medicines in the epidural space (space around the spinal nerves). There are different methods of doing this, like caudal route, posterior epidural route, transforaminal route. Long term relief can be achieved in many patients if the root is not too much compressed and in neuritis pain. Transforaminal route offers best result in unilateral pain.
