Do you know if it's cortisone shots or are they frying your nerve ends ? The latter of the 2 should work best temporarily . Good luck and I hope it fixes you .
From what I am understanding its going to be a mix of both, he wants to inject the cortisone shot but have to do so carefully as I can have a reaction to it and also deading the nerves some to try to have the back "relax" and see if it works or not an if it does then we have a treatment plan. They are going to use anesthesia as he is doing the full lumbar, when it comes to needles....I HATE THEM!!! they could be made of GOLD but I would still hate them!

Do you know why they did not take with you? How did you feel after the shot? What I'm worried about other than hitting a nerve is what they are calling a wet tap...times that by the amount of times I'm being injected.....sounds like getting teeth pulled with out a pain shot would feel better.
