If this injection didn't work, the next one will NOT work either. They do NOT build up in the system.

The medication you're on has TOO MUCH "TYLENOL" in it and you SHOULD HAVE a Liver panel done!!! If you've been on it for YEARS, your liver could be compromised!! So ask your doctor to run a Liver Panel to make sure your liver is working properly!!!

Also, like "Mg" said, take your MRI to a NEUROSURGEON and get an opinion. If he suggests surgery, get 2 more opinions from 2 more neurosurgeons before having surgery! Surgery will NOT take away the pain. It's only for mechanical problems. You will still need pain medications. But it will help the stenosis which can be dangerous for the spinal canal.

Let us know what happens, ok? We DO care. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
