Hi, Alma, I also have spinal stenosis and have had epidurals in the past that were not helpful.
So interesting to see your message because, ironically, I had a newer type of epidural for my chronic neck pain/headaches this very morning! They injected in the front of my neck and on both sides. I am already feeling some decrease in the neck pain as they inject a corticosteroid and lidocaine but the full effect could take up to 2 wks, so I don't know yet what longer term results there may be. The next step, for me, is another surgery as there is a bulging disc at C4-5 and I already had surgical fusions C5-7. What part of your spine is most painful?
