I had a steroid shot in my L3/L4 and L4/L5 today. It took a lot of the edge off the pain. The only pain now is when I stand for longer than a couple minutes. The pain is on the outside of my calf and is relieved by sitting or laying. I know these shots are usually in sets of 2 or 3. The doc said it would take a few days to get the inflammation down because it was obviously really bad..

I don't want to have to take steroids , be good for 6 mos, have a week of horrid pain , and then take more steroids. I am guessing I should call a Ortho or Nuero doc and have a sit down with them.
