@JazzyV Yes, epidural steroid without a numbing agent (Bupivicaine is commonly used). I'd been having low back, bilateral hip, thigh, knee & bottom of my feet pain since mid -August....what a relief! He hopes it will last at least 8 months! Get on the Pain peoples cancellation list & keep bugging them. My 1st scheduled appointment hasn't even come up yet & when I called, there had been a cancellation that morning but "We don't start calling that early to fill them" -- she told me to call at 8 a.m. & lo & behold, the next day there was an 8:30 available...needless to say I took it.
