Back Pain-Protruding Disc-Epidural therapy?!
Question:
Back Pain-Protruding Disc-Epidural therapy?
I was diagnosed with a protruding disc-I believe the pain doctor will prescribe epidural therapy. Anyone ever had this done.
IN LOTS OF PAIN
Answers:
Yes three times. Twice by a pain specialist who did the procedure in a outpatient surgery center with some kind of pain control so I didn't feel the shots. The first time with an orthopedic surgeon without any pain control while he did the procedure. It was the most intensely painful thing I've ever experienced. Do not let them do this procedure unless you have something that will completely block the pain! Otherwise if done correctly it is a breeze, and no pain afterwards. Unfortunately, it never gave me long term relief, but hopefully for you it will permanently stop your pain! Best of luck!!!
