Clinical assessment of pation is extremely important. Disc herniation and nerve compression are assessed in original films of MRI. Epidural steroid is a temporary solution to reduce pain till you get your body sorted out by doing physiotherapy and exercises to strengthen the back and core muscles. Stretching of your Hamstring muscles along with posture correction is the most important thing.
