Hello, just found this great site and hoping that someone with some knowledge can help me out a little. I just got my MRI and I have a herniated disc in L1-L2 and L3-L4 and an annual fissure in L4-L5. I am really scared because I go to see the nuerosurgeon tomorrow and I think they are going to want to get me a epidural shot. If anyone is having similar problems please let me know. I am just nervous. I wake up every day in soo much pain and I can't even work because it hurts soo bad. I thought I was crazy for the longest time. I just would like someone to talk to who knows what they are talking about. I have looked on many, many web sites and I don't understand because they mostly are talking about the lower discs. Thanks in advance.
