to guard against injury to the nerve. This sends a pulse that there's problems w/ the nerve...The process repeats itself. An epidural steroid can reduce the inflammation. It's injected into the dural area, [the tube the nerves go thru.] it's injected above the injury, flows down, and relieves the inflammation. I've had a bunch of them...Area is numbed, large, SQUARE needle about 6" long is used! It's not really painful. Mine usually show drastic improvement in a day or so.... As mentioned, an MRI will probably be prescribed to verify the injured area.
This is happening frequently. And NO, I'm not hitting the ABC button that causes it!
I've asked about this before....Never got an answer. How about it????????????
