epidural injections

by Damomma, Jun 24, 2008 08:48AM
I am scheduled for sciatic joint injections to relieve my chronic lower back pain.  Are there any adverse reactions to this procedure?  Is it safe?  I receive cortisone and Euflexxa injections in my knee ( Bone on bone- but trying to postpone replacement surgery )  Will these two procedure interfere with each other?  Is that too much cortisonein my body all at once?  Timing of injections is staggered.


This discussion is related to LUMBAR SPINE MRI.
