It was successful for me and lasted until 3 years ago when I had the same problem return. After going round in circles for months finally I was given an epidural injection which worked, I now have one roughly every 6 months at the City hospital. My doctor at the city is brilliant and even phones me at home sometimes, I take regular pain killers to go with the injection but I have a allotment which I work without any problem. You just have to be sensible.
