This morning we are going to Saint Vincent North to have an epidural steroid injection done. She can have up to 3 of these in a year, and if after the end of the third one she is no better, then we will be talking surgery. I think that we are just delaying the inevitable, because the steroids won't fix the problem, merely cover the pain for a short time.
BTW my phone died about 2 weeks ago, so y'all please e mail me your numbers, so I can get them in my new phone. Thanks

Do not have any epidural steroid injections! Did you ask the dr what drug they were injecting into her spine? Depomedrol? Kenalog? Celestone Soluspan? all these drugs for injections are used off label, andnot approved by their manufacturers to be injected into the epidural space. Do a search-look up the drugs used for these injections
the are compounds of a steroid and neurotoxins added, and cause Arachnoiditis, bowel and bladder dysfunction, and more. Research these injections!
Thank you for your comment, but I am a nurse and am aware that many drugs are used for off label purposes. I also know that epi steroids generally do not help.
