Epidurals For Pain Management

A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lake Havasu City, AZ

I just had my first epidural on the 03rd. My SCS isn't cutting it fully and my surgeon does not see anything surgical @ this time. My questions are how well did they work for you & how long did last? I know it's subjective. But I feel like it really didn't do too much. It seemed helpful, but not worth all the aggravation or length of effectiveness. Thank you.
