I have just had a pain epidural shot in my spine for relief of
arthritis and dehydrated disc. But, I don't feel much relief. Has
anyone had great success with this? I don't know but I'm supposed to
go through a second one, but i'm wondering if it's worth it. Any
thoughts?

I am to have one on 27th.
I had one in spring of 2002 and it did not help, then went to another place
and had 2 injections under fluoroscope. He said wanted to get to nerve
root - and he sure did! The last one did help and have been o.k. till last
6 wks or so, so am trying again
