I have had 12 Epidural Steroid Injections and only 1 worked! The one that gave me relief also numbed my right leg & gave me a limp for the full 6 months it provided relief for! Fast forward 5 years of pain & agony, I was diagnosed in 2019 with Adhesive Arachnoiditis!
Study shows that the Epidural Steroid Injections have caused the development of Adhesive Arachnoiditis in many people!
You may want to say NO to additional injections as there is no cure for Arachnoiditis and it’s a disease similar to ALS in the end & it has paralyzing result!
Just thought you should be aware! I was not!

Hi Archie here:
I feel that the info or recommendations in this reply are not correct and potentially dis-serves the AA community.
I would also ask that the moderator review the text and comment.
Palliative care is not a death sentence nor is intervention. We are all unique and need to have treatment protocols as individuals.
Not to put too fine a point on it, I have had AA since 1978, and have benefited from the treatment you described since then. I would not want AA folks to be denied relief because of your comment.
Cause and effect can be very slippery concepts.
Best, Archie
