Grade: 3
General tightness / pain and R side L5 nerve impingement. Only partially responding to ibuprofen.
This issue came back with a vengeance in October 2018 and I was taking 3600mg of ibuprofen / day until February 2019 when I received epidural steroid injection. This worked well, and the issue has been relatively manageable since then provided I do core strength exercises three times a week. However, the disc is still herniated and from time to time I have regressions that lead to pain, calf cramps, etc.
