Herniated disc at L-4-S-1

I fell last October and after a lot of pain, tests, Physical Therapy, I was sent to a pain specialist. He has done 3 seperate epidural spinal injections. They have given me some relief. My question is this. Is it normal to have vaginal cramping due to disc damage? I have cramping like I am on my period and I am not. Between the pain, it almost feels like labor pains.
It isn't all the time, and generally will go away with Advil, but it is very odd,and not something I mentioned to the doctor as it doesnt' happen all the time.
My pain level has gone from a 7 to a 4 since the caudell injections over the past 3 weeks, but not gone completely. Can I expect to have pain for the rest of my life?
