Chemar,

I hope the injections work for your husband. When they work (and sometimes they haven't...I have had various types), it does relieve the inflammation long enough to try other conservative measures. And I don't blame you at all for wanting to try other things. But I would let the doc guide you as to what he thinks is best. I have been down this road for 7 years now and what I have found above all else is that my spinal PM is the one I can really trust as well as my NS. Let us know how it all turns out for your husband.
