Did the other two help you?

I was wondering that too, for I had them and it did not help but that was

only one. Not sure if it was the Dr or just me.

This is my 3rd one this year and it should hopefully last me until

March. This pain and discomfort is becoming unberabeable but since I

have weakness this is the only option.

I had three epidural injections too and I got minor relief if any. Now the same

doctor that I have been seeing for a year can't figure out why I have pain down

my right leg since the herniations are more towards the left side. He won't do

surgery now or anything except give me more meds.

I had 3 series of 3 epidurals each over the years, and they brought

little if any relief. Have you checked about selective nerve root

blocks, they are similar, but done where the nerve root is coming out

from the spine, very precise (mine were done in a CT scan) and helped

me. Finally had surgery six months ago, helped a whole lot more !
