The epidural injections were not at all painful, I repeat, not at all painful. If you feel any anxiety and/or apprehension about these injections, let both your nurse and attending doctor know prior to them.

Have you ever been told the side effects of these epidural injections; I was not, and afflicted with 'epidural lipomatosis' (look it up in your computer); Trust me, you don't want anymore epidural injections!
I would definitely keep that appt. with your surgeon. I had a neck fusion and it went really really well except for a few minor problems, patricia01788
