Guest guest Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Ladonna Make sure they do your injections under flourscope x-ray. Its more or less a living x-ray of your spine. I have had them on my lumbar spine and gotten some relief from the pain. If it doesnt work you will know by the end of a week. The next couple days afteward you will hurt. I ached more than I hurt with them. I dont know if they told you that the steroid injections are temporary. Mine usually lasted a few weeks. I have three herniated disk we dont know why. Our best guess is from an injury years ago. It just steadly gotten worse over the years to this point. So now its a diskogram now to see what is going on. If there are any ruptered, leaking or have fissures. in Missouri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm suppose to see my neurologist in May, because a new symptom has developed, I'm having pain all up and down my back and spine. My body is falling apart and I don't know why, the doctors don't know why. Anyway, I'm hoping for some relief through this injection, I guess I should let my pain doc. know I'm experiencing back-spinal pain too? LaDonna.
