Sciatic nerve pain

[thunderchicken]

Going to Chiro Was the worst thing my wife did. She immediately had to have surgery on the worst herniation her surgeon said he had seen. I would do physical therapy and stay away from chiros and surgeons if at all possible

Sorry to hear that. At this point, I'm not planning on having surgery unless it becomes a necessity

How long does the whole procedure take? And why would you need an IV just for a shot?

Im just saying in general. Ive had iv's n got all weird.

The whole procedure takes about 15 minutes. My surgeon will start a IV on the patient if they are going to have a mild sedation before the procedure.

I have never had a IV for and spinal injections. I have had nerve root blocks, Si joints. Trigger points and more. To include RF ablation in 8 spots at the same time. All cases and Dr's might be differntent.

Well today is the day I get injections

Thanks to all who shared their positive experiences with having these injections. They had me in and out in a matter of just a few minutes and the pain was very minimal. Mostly just felt like the Dr was pressing on the nerve with his thumb. Really no big deal

Great to hear it went well for you. I hope it works. Just take it easy until you heal.

Awesome! I hope it gives you the relief you need. And it is not uncommon to be sore the next day or so. If so, don't mistake it for a sign that the shots didn't work.
