I had dynesys done from S1 to L4 back in 2011. A year or so later a screw removal was done to the right side. The original problem was because L5 disc had collapsed. New MRI has shown the L5 and L4 both degenerated and L5 disc is bulging to the right side which is causing alot of pain around to the right hip. In the last 4 weeks u have had a couple of scares and immense pain I am due to see consultant on 23Rd May I think I am gonna possibly just gonna be fobbed off with a nerve root injection I am worried it's not gonna work any advice please does anyone think that this would be the right course of action for me to take??

    Wait to see what options your doctor has for your individual needs. It would be good to get other opinions.

      I asked for a copy of my MRI report as I needed it for a medical and it states that a nerve root injection my help with my symptoms so I think it's possible that they have made that decision already but ut was the person that wrote my MRI reports recommendations
