(((Lailavia))) Wondering how it went for you.

I'm a bit late in responding that yes, I had tons of epidurals both cervical and lumbar. Actually, the cervical were quite painful. The lumbar not as bad.

Sometimes the lumbar worked okay, and sometimes not. Then a new pain doc replaced my old one and said he wanted to try something different and gave me an SI. He said (this was some years ago) that doctors were only then starting to discover that often sacroiliac joints were the suspect. Once I started having those, I had tremendous pain relief. I don't get the epidurals anymore. I may be due for one in my neck but really really don't want to go through that if I can manage the pain.

I hope you have great success with your series of injections. Mine took as long as up to 14 days to work so don't be discouraged if you don't have pain relief immediately.
