I recently had a lumbar epidural of L5 vertebrae

The lumbar epidural added a whole new level of nerve pain from my right side waist down to my foot. Just hoping time will heal the nerve root that he hit.

My 2nd epidural was done by a new pain dr. Who did the injection on both left and right side at L4-5. I had the same thing happen, extreme electric jolt, it felt like he reached down to my toes and pulled my spinal cord out in one jerk! I screamed so loud! There was no sedation. He mumbled something about making sure he hit the right nerve.
My first epidural was done by a specialist in Gainesville (no pain at all!) who told me, if this doesn’t help you, don’t let doctors talk you into doing more, it will be a waste of time. He was right. And I never saw that doctor of torture again, my primary referred me to a new one, and I’ve never had another dr. Cause me pain like that!
I don’t think it caused me permanent damage, but who is to say? Wishing you all the best.
