islearom, two years ago I had my 5th lumbar surgery. I had stenosis and an whole bunch of other stuff...before the surgery I used epidural injections for relief of the major pain I was suffering. I waited to have my surgery for a few months but found out that my pain was getting worse each day. The doc did the injections and I felt relief right away.
As for how long they last...I really think its different for everyone. Mine would last for about six weeks or more. I do know this, I wouldn't have been able to wait as long as I did without the injections.
I did have an injection nine years ago by a different doc and really hurt and I felt no pain relief. I think you need to pick a doc that does them on a regular basis...Hope I have helped you...pm me anytime...take care!!
