Guest guest Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Hi Lyndi, I had been given an epidural shot by an anesthesiologist on December eighth to my lower right side of my back to kill the sciatica pain. I had been getting it every day since September of nineteen ninety- five. I'm happy to say that I no longer have sciatic pain to the lower right back and right leg. My next appointment is up to me. I plan to get my lower left side done. That is the spinal stenosis side. Anyone with multiple spinal stenosis area's will know what I'm writing about. When it hits me, it makes your entire lower back and left leg feel completely numb and feel like the leg is made of lead. Very tough to walk with it. As a matter of fact,I've got to sit down for several minutes to relieve that pain,then begin to walk again, then sit again, and so on. I plan to have my neck done last. I have three bone spurs touching the spinal cord and am not sure how effective the epidural shots will do there. / New York Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
