Answers:
The steroid shots can help for only awhile. The bulging disc is still there and may requite surgery if the pain in very bad!Health Question & Answer

You still have your bulging disc, and will always have it until it is surgically repaired or removed. All the steroid shots do is reduce the inflammation around the injury. Eventually you will have had too many steroid injections and you won't be able to get them. You can also try having an epidural, a spinal block, or the nerves burnt for relief. The problem with killing the nerves or blocking the pain is that you could do further injury to yourself and not even know it because you are unable to feel the pain. Be careful!Health Question & Answer
