hi everyone, i am a lurker,i posted here once a long time ago,i visit here everyday,and love it and get so much from all of you,i was wondering if anyone has had the epidrual(sp) done,i am in the process of having it done again on my left lower back,to try to kill the nerve endings,i had it done last year and don't feel it helped me.so i was just wondering if any one of you ever had this done. thank you so much, you are a great group.i come here when i can't sleep and hurting,lots of comfort here thank you in advance bettye I have had 2 in the neck and one in the Sacroiliac joint. The Sacroiliac joint one helped the most. Now that we have our new Ins card I will be getting another one in my neck. Have been in a flare there since Nov and even PT hasn't helped much. Will also be having an MRI to make sure there isn't anything untoward going on.

Although i've heard that some people get good results, i didn't have any relief from the pain. It felt quite a bit worse for awhile, actually, so they decided against trying another one. I hope you will find some relief soon. Bettye, my daughter (age 56) has had epidurals in her upper and middle spine (neck and back) previously and just had one on Thursday on vertebrae 7 & 8 in middle back (can't think what it's called right now-thoracic maybe!) She did get quite a bit of relief previously but as of last night had not gotten any this time. However, she kept 6 children by herself all day Friday (pre-schoolers) and I'm sure that didn't help her back at all. We are hoping that three days off now will do the trick.

If I were you, I'd give it another try to see how you do! Best wishes to you and hope the injections work wonders for you!!! Donna G hi bettye! i had 2 series of 3 injections last year, L5-S1 and T5-6. wonderful relief lasted for about 4 to 5 months for me. i felt so good i did a bunch of stuff i probably shouldn't have, which might be why the benefits didn't last longer. i had one residual benefit that hasn't quite left me yet---my back spasms are not nearly as bad as they had been. so, i say, you go for it girl! good luck! and do let us know how it goes for you, please. kate hi everyone, i am a lurker,i posted here once a long time ago,i visit here everyday,and love it and get so much from all of you,i was wondering if anyone has had the epidrual(sp) done,i am in the process of having it done again on my left lower back,to try to kill the nerve endings,i had it done last year and don't feel it helped me.so i was just wondering if any one of you ever had this done. thank you so much, you are a great group.i come here when i can't sleep and hurting,lots of comfort here thank you in advance bettye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ My daughter had an epidural two weeks ago in her center back, had one yesterday in her neck, and will have another in three weeks in her lower back.
