Pinky, do you mean epidural injection(s). I've had scripts but never did them. My lower back is my achilles tendon for most of my life and worse with aging and hip job.

Some do these with no trepidations about doing them and others like myself think long and hard about these steroids in lower back.

Our PRP MD here would want to tighten up the ligaments around the joints. Insurance does not pay for these. And he does not guarantee but says lots get help from PRP injections. Some ortho docs in our area even do PRP now. Good wishes...
