The intervertebral disc is subject to continuous and progressive degenerative changes through out life, L3,L4,L5 showing greatest degree of degeneration. This study aims to study the outcomes of use of a mixture of epidural steroid and local anaesthetic in cases of IVDP. 20 cases of IVDP were treated with above mentioned method. Clinical results were analysed at the end of 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks. The parameters assessed during each visit are: improvement in symptoms like, backache, sciatica, ability of carrying out daily activities, lifestyle, walking ability, SLRT and motor and sensory system improvements. This method has allowed symptomatic relief from back pain for atleast 12 weeks.
