Health Prolapsed disc

Mate. Have the injection. Cortisone isn't a pain-killer, it's an anti-inflammatory. The pain goes away because the inflammation resolves. It's an absolute win-win for someone in your position and may very well help the recovery process. It will also enable you to be more active and better fulfil your physio requirements.

Get the injection. It's a no brainer.

and allow me to sit at work...cheers.

how long did it take the disc to retract?

id happily take the physio route over the injection route, but the pain seems to need more urgent attention.

probably around the 3 year mark.

I had a epidural injection in 2011. Went from excruciating pain in the L5/S1 to feeling completely fine. Ended up having a laminectomy anyways as it hadn't actually healed even 1% 6 months after the epidural and am fine now
