The treatment course for your husband with 3,2 weeks apart was similar to what was suggested for me but then the plans changed. Will they have him do PT during this as well?

I would ask what is in the epidural injection and get the written report. This way if he see's another doctor and they ask he will be able to say.
It's cortisone. I asked Dr. Fred. He explained the whole thing to me.

Each of his doctors knows everything he's going through. Except his neuro who doesn't seem to know ANYTHING.
