My doctor suggested an “epidural”
shot for my pain.
Is this a good idea?
A. To be frank,
no, in my opinion this is a bad idea. The epidural is painful and
costly, the
steroid
that are injected may weaken tissue, additives within the medication
have been reported to occasionally cause scarring of the nerve roots
which will set up a new and untreatable source of chronic pain, and
the results are nil to fair, and only very temporary (usually about
a week, maximum, very rarely a month), and there is absolutely no
long term therapeutic value to the injection. So in my opinion, why
bother?
