I have a herniated disc and need to have an epidural in my lower back. Does this really relieve the pain?
Would having an epidural injection for a herniated disc in my lower back help relieve pain, or would I be taking a risk?

It helps relieve pain for awhile… its anesthesia…
epidural is what women get when giving birth for example….
What will they be doing after you get the anesthesia? (procedure i mean)
or are you just getting the drug and thats it?

You can’t have an epidural in the back for pain, because you won’t be able to move for at least five to six hours. It numbs you from the waste down. You need to have the disc corrected by surgery. Until then, you could go to a Pain Center and have Cortisone injections. or your family Doctor can give them to you. But I wouldn’t get addicted to them, besides you can only have an injection every two or three months. Please just get the disc repaired. Good luck to you.

I have had many spinal injections and it does depend on what kind you are having a simple nerve injection or a lumber puncture. The more common is injecting into a spinal nerve ending which is not too painful a bit uncomfortable for a few days after, it should not be very painful during the procedure. This type of injection can last from about 6 months to a year with reasonable results a decrease in pain and often allowing more mobility because of less back and leg pain. This type of injection can be repeated on a regular basis and some hospitals will give you a direct phone number to book a repeat injection when necessary. It is fairly risk free but don’t drive directly after and take a friend as sometimes the legs go wobbly for a while, temporary side effects.
The lumbar puncture steroid injection is a very different procedure and not as common these days, it involves injecting steroid straight into the space in the spinal column. It is a more risky procedure and can be fairly painful but can greatly help especially when mobility is near non-existent, strenghtening the spine and helping some people to walk again after serious spinal problems.
Personally if it is an epidural nerve injection I would advise you to have it, they work extremely well, in my experience they have improved the pain by up to 30% and greatly helped with mobility. The small amount of discomfort is worth it and a good hospital should have a repeat program, bypassing long waiting lists, so that any releif gained can be maintaned.
If you are worried about any risks it would be best to discuss it with your specialist or a member of his team who will reassure you.
I hope this helps and feel free to mail me if I can help with advice
