Thanks for all the replies.....

I put in a call to my PM doctor to figure out exactly what kind of epidural he wants to do and with what meds. (My last neurologist treated my RSD/CRPS with Botox, which worked pretty well, but this new dr seems to want to try something new..... )

a few more questions:
1.how long do the effects of the epidural last ?
2. how do the epidurals differ from trigger point injections that have steriods in them ?

Thanks so much !
