Nerve Root Block

So since suffering since Dec 3rd 2025, I have an L5 root nerve block booked in for Tues 7th July. Even though I’m taking Gabapentin 400mg 3 times a day, I still have an echo of pain down my left buttock, thigh and calf, my last 3 toes are still not moving when I try and still have pins and needles and some numbness. The pain in my lower back is still quite nauseating. Just hoping I get some relief at this point. I have only taken 2 days off work following the injection is this feasible?

Imaging

Received my mri imaging, I have been suffering since 3rd December 2025. Currently taking 400mg Gabapentin 3 times a day, numbness, pins and needles in my left foot, intermittent spasms and pain in my left calf, thigh and buttocks, pain radiating in my lower back, difficulty bending etc. Is it not too bad?

I’ve had to repost these as my original was deleted as my radiologist report was posted in the comments
