Post Content

I recently made a post about my sciatica journey; [https://www.reddit.com/r/Sciatica/s/T06H7iUmNJ](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sciatica/s/T06H7iUmNJ) I got the epidural steriod shot two days ago and now im in the worst pain i have ever been in before. The doctors tell me that this usually follows after the injection. But hahahaha…… the level of pain im in, i cant even describe it. Cant even walk. The nerve is so irritated it doesn’t allow me to do anything. Im a crying mess drugged up with so much oxycodone. What happens now people?? Is this actually expected/normal?
