Epidural Injection? yes or no
Epidural Injection? yes or no
Has anyone had success with an epidural injection? I know that there is some very scary side effects but I have to imagine that some of them work or doctors wouldn't keep doing them. I am having chronic lower back pain and have compressed nerves in my back. I also have ilioinguinal neuralgia and was hoping this might help it (the nerve comes out of L1/L2 would be injected). Anything positive out there?
