I have RSD/CRPS with extreme sensitivity in my left ankle, up my leg, into my hip and across my lower back. I also have the same pain all through my left hand and arm, down my left shoulder blade and up the left side of my neck. I use a wheelchair because I am often in too much pain to walk any distance. A few weeks ago I had a nerve block, with a epidural shot later the same day. Although the pain was not gone, I felt quite a bit of relief. So in about a week I am going in for a 5-6 day treatment of an epidural and some rehabilitation. Perhaps with some other other drug in a drip. I am wondering if anyone here has had this treatment? I know it's quite minor and safe but I am still wondeing what sort of thing am I to expect? Will the anaesthesia effects be the same as a shot, or just more spread out? I don't know why but my back was fairly sore after the shot. I am wondering how things felt after your procedure or of someone you know?
