Neuropothy nerve block injections in feet??

Posted by allegheny @allegheny, Apr 5 10:04am

Has anyone tried epidural nerve block injections in their feet for idiopathic neuropothy? My podiatrist suggested this procedure not sure I should try this. Comments???

Hi @allegheny, While you wait for members who have had nerve block injections in their feet to respond, I thought you might want to scan through the following related discussions to read what others have shared.

I haven't had it done yet. When I went to see the pain management doctor for my lower back, I also told him about my burning feet that was bothering me while I was waiting. He said when we were finished treating my back with shots he could put a shot in my feet. I didn't know they would put shots in your feet until then.

Hi Myrna, I wish I knew more about this procedure, the podiatrist said he could not guarantee any positive results, as we are always told, everyone is different. I am waiting to see my PCP and get her opinion, if any. Thank You for the response, if I have any further info, I will post it.
