I Had Another Epidural Injection Today

[CO Liberal]

This time on my lower spine. The one I had last month on my neck worked so well, they decided to try one lower.

So far so good. A little soreness in the area of the injection, but I'm feeling better.

2. What was it for?

You're not pregnant are you?

3. No...

I have been involved in three motor vehicle accidents in the past four years, and as a result I have two herniated discs in my neck and two in my lumbar region. The epidural was done to inject steroids into the area around the herniated discs in my lumbar are in an attempt to stop the pain that I have constantly in my lower back and pelvis that often shoots down both legs.

5. Epidurals - ahhhhh

Proof that God exists! ;)

Hope the steriods help, too. Sorry you had to do the epidural though, it's not without risks. I guess oral painkillers weren't doing the trick well enough.
