Started with physiology but one day in the shower it popped and that was it. I was admitted, scanned and given the epidural injections. They don't hurt and you get given a local - you just have to lie completely still. I was overjoyed at being pain free but unfortunately it wore off within two weeks and three weeks later I had the op.Recovery for me was six weeks until back to work, but six months before I could entertain running again. The first few days after the op were hard but I got through it and got stronger.I'm now getting pain on e again and had it for eight months. I'm awaiting mri feedback and will see what they say. For me an op now would be bad as I have two young kids and no support so I worry for them but if I was you, I'd have the op. You risk doing permanent t damage to the nerve. It took months after my op for nerve pain to subside but it did eventually. Nerves take a long time to heal.X</blockquote>
