hi i sufferd from aslipped disc at l5/s1 5 years ago ive had a foraminal injection which only worked for about ten weeks the doctor i was under said that it was pointless to op on due to it being a tricky slip i had sufferd from and surgery may not even sort the problem.putting all that aside since the i have sufferd from burning pain from deep within my buttocks/hips on bothsides when i walk any distance,but no back pain and i get servre pain in my nuckals on both hands but mainly my right hand.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The symptoms that you have described are likely to be related to a nerve root compression at the level of lumbar spine. After taking the injections, it takes 3-4 weeks for the injections to show an improvement.
