After dealing with back issues over the last 4 years, with physical therapy not helping, I'm scheduled week from this Friday for a epidural shot in the area of C5 & C6.....Two doctors agree this is the best treatment for me at this time, both read my MRI and both said the area of the pain is that of a much older person.....I guess 22 years of scuffling and fighting with inmates have taken it's toll. They told me from the time arrive till I leave will be maybe a total of 2 hours, they did say I should have someone drop/pick me up......It's only about 2 miles from me, so the wife will do it

Feel better Joe. Looks like you visited Dr. Summeroff?

Suprised you couldn't hold out for Dr. Falloff......

It is a steroid used to relieve pain by numbing the nerves. Most people think an epidural is a needle but it is actually the space around the spine between the nerves known as the epidural area

My wife had 3 a year from 2013-2017 due to herniated discs on her L4/L5 and L5/S1 from a car accident. They stopped relieving any pain so she had a procedure called a radio frequency ablation done. She had that done in April of 2017. Thankfully it has helped a lot. She still feels discomfort sometimes but not shooting pain like she used to.

After my last epidural. They recommended an inversion table and that thing has helped me a lot. Between the chiropractor and the table I feel a lot better. And lots of walking at work and up and down mountain streams I have to think helps too. I hope the epidural helps you and you get relief. Nothing sucks worse than severe neck and back pain.

Good Luck, They didn't work for me. Had them 3X. Worth a shot though!

I had the shots and drove myself home, I sat in the lobby for 30 minutes before driving ... good luck

I've had three over the years, no big deal.

Just had it done about an hour ago, little tightness at the injection site, doctor said give it about 3 days for the medication to kick in
