What am I in for with epidural injections?

I have had over 6 injections. They helped some at first but then stopped working. Over time, injections can cause issues with joints so not good to get too many for too long. It sounds like you are able to manage well without them. After my injections stopped helping, I moved to lumbar decompression and fusion surgery.

Did the surgery help?

I’ve had 3 injections at L4-5 four months apart; they all worked very well. At which point did they stop working for you? Also, I’m curious why you did not try an ablation before fusion surgery?
