Hi Tamiloo,
I had 3 epidurals in my lumbar. Each one helped a little. Not enough though.
At the time they said you can only have 3 a year.
Then they did this procedure in OR to identify the worse disc. I was somewhat sedated, put on an IV antibiotic, and they would put a cc or 2 of saline into discs to see which caused pain. MRIs were good, but still pain.
You can't feel a thing until they get the right disc. When they do the whole room will know and you can feel the nerve pain going down your leg.
Then they know that is where they need to do surgery, for sure.
Good luck!
