Spinal Steroid Injections
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have been assessed at the pain clinic as a candidate for spinal steroid injections every six months. I have severe spinal stenosis on several levels in my lumbar spine.

Has Anyone Had Epidural Injections To The Lumbar With Only Local Anesthesia??
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

Because I have always had Sedation.
However my pain doctor is having a hard time getting the Medications for the Sedation.

A MyChronicPainTeam Member
