How do steroids ease the pain caused by spinal disc prolapse?

Steroids, much like a clever April Fools’ trick, make the body feel relief from disc prolapse pain even though the disc remains in place. They are delivered through techniques such as epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks, or caudal epidural injections to reduce nerve inflammation and irritation. Since the primary cause of radicular pain is inflammation rather than compression, steroids effectively alleviate the discomfort, creating the illusion that the issue has been resolved.
