I’m so sorry you’re in so much pain. Those injections, (Epidural Steroid Injections) are not FDA approved; it says that right on the bottle of the steroids. I now have Adhesive Arachnoiditis because of these injections. Do not get them anymore and get a few opinions from NEUROSURGEONS, not orthopedic surgeons, before you have any surgery. Get an MRI if you can.
