I can completely understand what you mean and know how you feel about being nervous and feeling like a wimp when it comes to the procedures.

I had a few in office epidurals for RSD. Then in March I had a Tunneled Epidural Catheter put in. It was left in for 8 weeks until it became infected. Even though the office epi's were uncomfy (I was not put to sleep), I did have a little relief at first.

Good luck, breath deep and stay postive....let us know how everything turns out tomorrow!

I switched PM doctors due to my health insurance same office different doctor so if any problems occur he can reach my old doctor immediately.

Thanks in advance,
