Epidural for neck pain

[Chrissy0277]

Well im home and pain free right now cause Im still all numb. Dr said the pain will probably come back when the numbness wears off but will hopefully go away within the week.
I cant type much more im so out of it

I've had the epidural blocks in my neck and my back..I say go for it. You're only sedated a few minutes, get the shots and it's over. Have worked great for me. I have learned to baby myself for a few days afterwards. Most people are sore a couple of days but goes away. Best of luck!

I'm sorry you aren't still feeling good

Hubby is still comfortable after the local anesthesia wore off even thought the Dr told him some of the pain may come back and he made another appt for 3 weeks to get another shot if needed.

I hope that you will feel better soon.

For my husband, it did take 3 epidural visits to completely make the pain go away. You may need more than just this one.

I just got back from a week in Florida...and saw this post. I have had a series of (3) cervical epidurals over the last two months for advanced degenerative disk disease. I feel SO much better! I don't know how long it will last, but I am not in agony like I had been for years. I hope yours helps!
