Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your husband is suffering from acute disc prolapse, for which epidural was applied.But he is still not having relief. He may get relief in pain gradually. Rest is essential part of treatment. He should rest in lateral position. Treatment may be long, sometimes years. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
