Sciatic pain can come from different things.

In 2011, I had a series of 2 out of 3 but had a dissectomy that took the pain away immediately. Then 2 years ago I had severe lower back pain, had the MRI (again) and went to another pain specialist (Dr. Zhou) and had the series of 3. These didn't help. Was at PT with my S.O. and they looked at the MRI and told me it was soft tissue issues and not my spine and they could help. It's true about the "Pirformis Syndrome"---it mimics sciatica and you need to do stretches. You need to have the right diagnosis to be helped so do your homework. The shots are a "band-aide" and temporary at best. I know when you have pain you're wanting it gone and will do about anything for relief. Get a 2nd and even 3rd opinion....best wishes!!!
