My doctor suggested a nerve block at L5-S1 to help rule in or out my lumbar spine as a cause of my neuropathy symptoms. I have never been a fan of steroids but I am considering it for 2 reasons:
1) It would be really great to know if this is the cause so I could make lifetime adjustments accordingly. 2) To give me some relief even though temporary I would love to hear experiences from anyone who has had a nerve block or knows anything about them. I do not plan to do this more than once. I'm sure if it takes away the symptoms and makes me feel normal again it will be hard to resist. Opinions on how slippery a slope this is would be great too.
