Hi Rosie. Welcome to NeuroTalk. You'll find everyone here very caring and supportive.

I'm sorry to hear about your problems. I have cervical and lumbar problems as well. I've had 2 injections in the cervical part as high as they can safely go. They are THE most painful injections I've ever had, but they really helped. I'm afraid I may have to go back for another. Getting constant electrical zap down the left side and my left hand starts to go numb.

Fun, huh? I also used to get tons of epidurals for the lumbar. But a new pain doc decided to try SI's instead (sacroiliac injections). Those finally started to relieve the pain. I have bilateral injections set up for the 24th. Owie.

I hope they find the right solutions for you. That pain is just not fun!
