I have only had back surgeries L4 and L5. Two major surgeries and then the injections, which did not help. Excuse me, they helped for a month or less. I suffer from chronic pain and tonight I am in pain. I am going to take a hot bath. Good luck to you..Kim

The reason why the doctors have to putyou in twilight sleep is because you can't move when they inject the steroid into your spine.
If you move when they put the needle in your spine, you could become paralized.
Some people feel better after one injection. Some people end up having several injections before any relief is felt. Then there are some people like me that the injections don't help at all.
I wish you the best of luck.
