Oh boy - 4 epiderals and nothing

OK - I know it has been a while - and I am sorry to all of you that have been supportive -

so here is my update- The first injections knocked my pain (3 disc bulges and anterlothesis of L5 S1) so the first doc nailed it and reduced my pain level 75% I would say and they wanted to do it again which is what lots of people said - the docs office lost my file and to make a long story short - they did another one - different doc - horrible little man - pain went back to the original before the first injection and after trying to get a follow up (lost my file - billed me for procedure and crazy people) anyways I went to another doc. Younger nice guy - Dr Matthew Richardson here at Atlanta Spine - spent a ton of time with us - re diagnosed the original MRI to more severe and now L5 rupture but very optimistic. His injections took my original pain down maybe 25% --

Here is my question - am I being too optimistic with these injections even though I have a good optimistic doc --- any thoughts
