Let me give you my take on this.
I have a herniated disc surrounded top and bottom with bulging discs.
Inversion table almost killed me and made it worse.
The last Chiro told me to get the MRI and never go to one again as they could possibly paralyze me! This was after I sat one a table and he raised my left leg and I went over the backside of the table the pain was so bad. This is when he said you have disc problems. THEN I went and got xrays and MRI and found out what was wrong. My pain was only in my left leg but I ended up in the hospital 3 times when it got so bad I could not walk. It took everyone a while to figure out what exactly was wrong.
The first steroid shot I had many years ago lasted for 4 years, the others after that lasted no more than 2 weeks. Most painful shot I have ever had. Pain management Doc said this could happen, no guarantees on the shot.
Physical therapy with stretching exercise are the one thing that has helped and it will eliminate the pain IF and ONLY IF you do them religiously.
The last surgeon I went to just recently told me they could do surgery but at my age, 69 going on 70, they would continue to do surgery as the other discs would just deteriate from the prior surgery due to mainly my age.
I truly hope you get relief, but I bet the easiest way is thru physical therapy and stretching.
