Bullshit, surgery is not the answer for degenerative disc disease in any way, shape or form.
By the way it's called epidural and all that is, is a shot of lidocaine, which numbs everything because the other ingredient of the shot, usually depo-medrol or some other form of steroid that shrinks the tissue, burns a lot going in.
The problem, when it works, and many times it doesn't, the tissue is numbed and the swelling goes away, so the patient thinks their better. Problem, feeling better is not being better. The symptoms have been masked. Symptoms your body gave you to let you know you screwed up and didn't take good care of yourself. It's a mechanical problem. The vertebrae stop moving properly, usually due to some injury, so the disc does not get any fluid imbibed into it, it begins to dry up, or dessicate, (like dessicated dried fruit) it then begins to thin closing the size of the whole where the nerve is, usually ending up causing you pain.
I've been treating conditions just like this non-surgically for 32 years.
