I Did Not Expect This

I called my orthopedist a few weeks ago about my sciatica and was referred to a "spine and pain management" specialist. 

I have an appointment scheduled with him on the 20th, but he also already scheduled an epidural for me on the 27th, based on the extensive series of questions I answered before they scheduled the first appointment.

What I really want to find out is what I need to do the first time I start to feel pain. It seems like there should be a sequence I can follow, either after pain commences or as daily maintenance, that should stem the progression.
