Guest guest Posted June 26, 2003 Report Share Posted June 26, 2003 Hi everyone I am new to this group and want to intrduce myself- My name is Dianne and I am 43 yrs old. I have a herniated disk L4/5 as well as right leg pain ( sometimes in left ) and bad hip and tailbone pain.been having physio 3 times per week and the surgeon now wants to try cortisone epidural. He said if it does not have any effect within a few weeks then we will have to discuss surgery. I had a fall at work on the 8/5/03 and this is the result. I feel they are really pushing me to get back to work, what is the usual time frame to allow your body to heal? I woud appreciate any advice, and any info on the cortisone through personal experience etc. Thankyou Regards Dianne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
