That is good that the second time helped! How long have you had chronic back pain? What else do you do to manage your pain?

Why not try a spinal epidural to relieve chronic back pain and sciatica? Spinal epidurals have been used to treat lower back pain for over 60 years. An epidural steroid injection delivers steroids directly into the epidural space in the spine. This local injection will help to decrease inflammation that directly contributes to back discomfort and pain.
