Patient: I have had an MRI of my back and have an L5 disc bulge that is causing alot of nerve pain in my buttocks and leg.  I coach basketball, and it even hurts when I shoot or blow the whistle too hard.  I've had a steroid shot and it didn't help much.  What other options do I have? Doctor: Hi, you can go ahead with transforaminal block, decompression discectomy, nucleolysis, piriformis block, per cutaneius laser discectomy. All these options are available with the pain specialists. So consult one in your region.
