Going to get a epidural steroid injection in my L5-S1 on Monday. Been on the couch since Sunday. Today was the first day since that I was able to walk. Steroids (by mouth), pain killers and muscle relaxers haven't done jack for me...Hoping for immediate relief after getting the injection.

That was one of the two levels I had surgery on (the other being L4-L5). Good luck!
I refused to try epidurals because if they didnt work and I had to take off school in the middle of the year it would have been a lot worse for me.
