Re: Re: severe pain after L-5 S-1 diskectomy

Epidurals are usually done in a series of three. Please read the

complications on the surgery consent.

These cause scarring that do not go away and may cause more problems. The

steriods can cause allergic reactions that are life threating. This is not

something to take lightly. I was left with irreverisable scarring that caused

more problems because someone said, " Let's just do another one " Or Lets do

another injection in another place. These doctors are anestheologists usually

and will be happy to stick again. If you are not getting relief, your body is

trying to tell you something, " This is not going to work "

Don't make the mistake I did and keep trying sticks because I wanted to be

conservative and they must not have any bad side effects. Think aracnoiditits?

It never goes away and is scarring in the spinal canal that causes bad pain.

Just think before letting them stick.
