Hope that does the trick!
In my case, the epidural offered limited and diminishing benefit as did other more conservative treatments (which one should always try first) and I ended up having minimally invasive surgery to fix a ruptured disc putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. I had waited quite a bit before having the surgery done and it took the nerve awhile to calm down after the surgery. It eventually did and I got into bicycling as therapy and 4 or 5 years later ride around 180 miles a week pain free.
Good luck!
