Guest guest Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 So, is it similar to an epidural you wou would get when you have a baby...in the way they give it to you, not in the result of the medication? I can kind of see the weird feeling you are talking about, ...I think. I had something like that in my knee injections. Did they do it with xray guidance, or just right there in the office? April Sent from my Verizon Wireless Phone spinal injections Has anyone had spinal injections? Please share your experiences, good, bad, or indifferent. My MRIs came back showing NOTHING in my thorasic spine and a degenerated disc at L5-S1...a little more complicated than a bulging disc. My doctor will make an appointment for me to see a pain management specialist for a consultation, but he said my only option really is a spinal injection.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 They used ultra sound guidance for it. I never had an epidural for having a baby, I think they turn you on your side right? It sounds similar and just is that pressure feeling, and my left leg kinda went a bit numb cuz the sciatic nerve is so close, and in me that is where I get pressure on my sciatic nerve and neuropathy in my left leg and thigh. I think you got it kiddo! No just go for it. It’s great to feel relief after all that pain for hours upon days and weeks. I’ve had knee injections also. At first I was getting Synvisc, and then switched to Euflexxa that gave me less side affects of fatigue and nausea. Is that what they did for your knees? I have osteoarthritis is why I needed it. My daughter with Still’s is getting these for her knees from the Still’s attacking the joints. Hope it helps. ~~~ ~~~ From: raincoin@...
