Has anyone had this done I don't know what is called all I know is they are using something like when you get your teeth pulled. Injections in neck its going to numb nerves to see which are causing me problems. the esi injections didn't work so now they are doing these. I must say I'm not looking forward to having more needles stuck in my neck but wanting pain relief without taking pain meds on a daily basis. I wish I could remember what it's called oh well brain fog is lovely well have a nice day

Selective nerve root block

Is this a temporary fix? for how long?

Usually it is a diagnostic block but if steroidal compound is added, it possibly could be somewhat therapeutic. As far as how long it may work? you'll know when you get there, everyone is different!
