For a lumbar puncture to show evidence of Multiple Sclerosis do you have to be having a flare up?

Steroid shot for bulging disc?
Hi, not too long ago my doctor told me I have a bulging disc and that’s what’s been causing the pain in my back. He said they could give me a shot to help with it. I’m thinking it’s just a go in and get a shot type thing. Turns out they’d be putting me to sleep and giving me the shot in my back. I’m wondering about the side affects of having this done, does it work, and are there any other alternatives for a bulging disc.

I need home remedies for an aggrevated bulging disc. I don't have insurance or money for a cortisone shot.
This is actually for my mother. She has a bulging disc that is badly aggrevated at the moment. She works in a model home, selling new homes, so she is up on her feet and then down in the chair constantly.
She doesn’t have basic medical or the money for a cortisone shot right now. At present, I have her taking 800mg ibuprofren and 1000mg acetominophen every 6 hours to help manage the pain.
What can she do so that she isn’t close to tears at work for the next 4 days??
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
