Hello,
No relief from neck or arm pain with esi. Ginnie, you spoke of other less dangerous injections that are available. What would that be? My meds are lyrica, tramadol and flexeril. Not alot of relief there either. Tramadol takes about two hours to get into my system. Not really very effective. I did not want to do the whole pain contract thing because of my work. I know people abuse the system but for those of us who have legitimate conditions a pain contract is just that, a pain. Neurosurgeon wants to do two level acdf with instrumentation. Not happy with that idea. It seems nothing is easy with spinal conditions. Anyway, hope everyone feels better.
