MRI

I met with a lumbar specialist and he is prescribing a course of treatment for me.  I will be getting a steroid shot in the area where the disc is pressing against the sciatic nerve which is causing me leg pain.  I can't take any steroidal pain pills like ibuprofen/aleve as this conflicts with this treatment.  I hope the steroid shot takes because the pain has inhibited by ability to carry heavy loads on my back - a key training requirement.
