I've been suffering from back pain for more than 10yrs. It has been a large contributing factor to my mobility issues and so I finally had x-rays done of my lower lumbar region. (where most of the pain is) The result? My lower lumbar region is deteriorating and has "acute" damage.
The pain Dr. that I'm seeing has decided he would like to try a "lumbar facet block" on me; to be done on the 3rd of December.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this procedure? Apparently they're going to run an ongoing x-ray while they stick a needle in my back to certain points (the facet?) and inject a steroid with a numbing agent. And yes, I will be sedated; by request upon given the choice.
So, does anyone have any experience they're willing to share?
Thank you in advance!
