Madam, Your pain is since 2 years and at present you are not able to walk.I would suggest you to go for MRI LS Spine and then based on your MRI study treatment can be planned either physiotherapy,injection depomedrol or surgery.Injection depomedrol is widely used but it has its own limitations and complications,it's not a permanent solution also. Thank you Dr Harish
