It might seem unrealistic to expect a life full of pain, but that is the reality for many people with chronic pain. If you have been experiencing chronic back pain, and nothing seems to be working, it might be time to consider other options.
Many professionals find epidural steroid injections to be successful in managing chronic pain in some patients.
To determine if this treatment is right for your particular situation, consider these factors:
- Epidural steroid injections can provide immediate pain relief to those chronic pain candidates who have severe sciatica pain from a lumbar herniated disc.
- These injections deliver strong anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area (nerve) in your lower back.
- An epidural injection can potentially provide enough pain relief so you can proceed with an exercise program. Together they will help you manage your pain over the long term.
