I have had many. Shattered my L4 4 yrs ago. So far they have been working on my low back and Rt leg pain. I also get Radio frequency injections. The epidural is not painful. Some Dr's may give you something beforehand to take the edge off. The RF they give me light sedation. I am awake but can't feel alot of the pain.

You write that ----" I am awake but can't feel alot of the pain."

I had one & did feel pain, and am wondering exactly how much pain you did feel?
Aren't you numbed in the area of the injection? I must have another & am worried that
it might be as painful as the previous one. Can you be totally sedated>
Thanks
