Hi, i stumbled across this forum whilst trying to search online for information.

I have tears in my eyes because I am now getting desperate and don't know where to turn, I am looking at my 11 month old son playing in his crib by himself for the past hour while I lay in pain, desperately wanting to play with him and take him to new places.

I started having back pain three years ago, I had an ultrasound they said I have a prolapsed disc, I then had physio treatment which did not help at all, I was working out in the gym 4/5 days a week and could cope with the pain. Then I fell pregnant and could not get any treatment, then my baby was three months old I saw a new doctor, I went for MRI and was told I have a herniated l5 s1. She sent me for an epidural steroid injection (they did not use X-ray when performing this). This did nothing for the pain whatsoever.
I then had physio treatment for a couple of months twice a week as I started to get new hip pain as well. This did a little for the hip pain but the back pain seems to be worse now.
I saw a specialist neuro and he ordered another better MRI of lumbar and pelvis, result was annular tear l5 s1. Nothing else. He said this is the cause of low back pain, even though I questioned him that the pain is only in my pelvis, around SI joints. He wants me to go for two more epidural steroid injections.

My questions is, is the pain supposed to be leg or back pain from this? I only have very low back pain, feels like constant being stabbed in the back, when I am doing anything??! Please any suggestions, opinions or experience will be much appreciated
Thank you
