My pain Dr suggested a caudal epidural steroid injection. Is t that down by the sacrum. Has anyone e had one how are they done do the hurt. And do they work. It's pretty much low back sacrum a d it leg where I hurt. Help

Hi, I'm sorry, however I am a bit confused. How did you heal your back on your own, I was under the impression that infection could set in, which would require bone to be removed, same with a fracture, or you may say a broken back.I am really interested in what you were told by your MD
No I was put in a turtle shell for 6 mo. No twisting as nd turning. No bending.
@suerc I had a turtle shell for 3months then water therapy for 6 months
I have had that also. Maybe only 4 mo. Has helped lots.
