What did I "self treat"? My doctor in India recommended the steroid injection in order to enable me to travel and a first world doctor provided the service. Treating symptoms well enough so that I can travel was the only purpose - the discectomy is what actually solved the problem.

If you want to spend extra money on a non-Indian doctor living in America, have fun. I don't plan to do the same - I've generally found care in India to be equal or superior to care in the US.

I'm not sure what you think I'm selling. I did name drop the doctor/hospital where I went, but they've paid me nothing and probably have no idea I wrote this post.
