Can you explain the difference in the shots to me please? If I google, I go down a rabbit hole! I’m trying to inform myself before I call dr on Monday:)

My weight loss of ten pounds has helped but I have more to lose. Definitely a journey!

Epidural steroid injection involves a procedure in which steroids and a local anesthetic are injected into the epidural space around the spinal cord.

Foraminal steroid injections are injections into the intervertebral foramen. The foramen are the openings where nerve endings leave the spinal cord to travel to other parts of the body.
Foraminal steroid injections are also known as transforaminal injections.
