Sorry I just saw this. I've lost count with how many epidurals I've had over the years. I've had most done under a floroscope. Unfortunately, after 30 years of worsening pain, I finally had a cervical fusion of disc 4/5 on Jan 10 as I ran the extreme risk of becoming a parapalegic. Looks like from all accounts, my spine surgery is next but I'm holding out for as long as possible. Too hot for a back cast in the summer. The neck surgery (I'm still in a brace) eliminated my pain by 95% almost immediately. Nobody likes surgery but it was the best thing I could have done. At least my upper half feels like a new body. Pain free after all those years. Too bad all those epidurals never worked for me, but I got to know the doctors so well I was on a first name bases. "She's Baaaack!" Good luck to you, I'm so thrilled you're feeling better and hope you're pain free for a long time!
