I'll be following you closely as i have a lumbar epidural coming up to treat chronic lower back pain caused by spinal osteoarthritis. An epidural is my second-last plan before giving up completely. I'm getting desperate

I feel your desperation. I had 6 epidurals within the past two years. Unfortunately none of them has worked for me. After the New Year Im planning on seeing a different doctor. I wish you much luck. Hopefully they will work for you.

I have had several.Never had any side effects.Painless proceedure.Only one worked.I still have pain but it isn't too bad
