Successful treatment for a type of spinal stenosis

I’m 90 years old so surgery is out. I had a single injection previously which had no effect. I also have peripheral neuropathy but no associated pain just numbness.
I am also taking Cymbalta which I’ve been taking for a while which did a little reducing a burning sensation. But I’m keeping it because it’s a good antidepressant and makes me mellow. Probably anyone with our problems should be prescribed one automatically.

@cantab I understand. Hopefully, your injections will offer longer relief. My elderly mom had them and she would have them about 3 times a year and they did help. She hasn't been doing them for awhile. It may be better controlled with medication now.
