I have the same thing. I had severe pain in my left leg. It was the L5-S1 disk herniation. I had one injection and it made the pain worse. They say that happens in a small amount of people...Of course that would include me......Any way, I had surgery on April 15th. I feel someowhat better. I can walk and sit for a little longer than before. The pain comes and goes, I hear that it could still take sometime for it be be 100%, if ever.......I also hear that walking is the best thing to do, but walking is hard because my left foot and thigh are still numb.....I hope you have better luck with whatever route you take.....It is a really painful problem, people don't realize how hard it is not to be able to walk or sit regularly.....I am so tired of lying down........
