keep in mind, as others have mentioned, that MRI findings DO NOT = symptoms. if you're having intolerable symptoms, push for a discogram to confirm (or even refute) the disc as a pain generator and then assess your options.
hard to say if you'd benefit from epidurals if your pain generator isn't identified.
