Dang, why didn't anyone tell me about this.

All these years my back has been giving me problems and no-one told me an epidural steroid injection would help. Just like trucks, I love sitting upright in my truck and the first time I drove it 9 hours to MS back in 2016 I jumped out of it and I wasn't all stoved up! I joke, cause people have been telling me, but I just don't listen I guess!!!!

I went to ICAST on Wednesday and Thursday and barely got through it! I received the injection yesterday morning, and went fishing this AM. Although not 100%, I'm tons better. The injection is supposed to take a couple days to work anyway, but dang, I'm back in business!!!!!



Yeah baby, time to rock-n-roll.

Awesome news Slab. Only bad thing I’ve heard about the shots are they don’t last. Have to keep getting them. Hopefully it lasts a good time for you though.

Glad your back on your feet bud,,,enjoy it!

Glad it made things better ! And your back on your feet!
If the steroids quit working they can do a nerve block which as been wonderful for me had my first round last October with fairly decent results and just had another round last week pretty simple procedure in and out in 2-3 hours . Feeling great !

Hi Ed,
My wife and I both, have had these injections and they do work, but like others have said, sometimes have to go back. I think they allow up to 4 injections a year. Good to hear you got some relief.

Glad they are working for you. I had damaged disks in my back and in 2001 tried several fixes. Your type was one. Work for. Short time. I ended up having a spinal fusion. Has worked out great. Like the surgeon told me tho. I still have pain at times but nothing so severe that I am down for long term. As long as I don’t over do too much I am ok. Hope it works out for you long term

The 3 I had did nothing for me. The 5 my nephew had did nothing for him. That's why I didn't tell you. And what a weird way to plug that you get to go to Icast and we don't. Did you use the corporate jet? Don't forget to fill it up. lol

Good to hear that injection helps you. Better than having to have back surgery that's for sure.

Corporate jet! I'd have to drive past the convention center where Icast was being held to get to the airport. And who can afford jet fuel anymore anyway! Geez!
