Cervical Cortisteroid Injections

Post a new topicby livingwith on Mon Nov 05, 2007 12:22 pm

I had a Cervical Facet Block to C6-7 and two weeks later had a ESI injection and since have had a total of 4 more ESI injections all within 3 months time and am still in pain. I have very severe night and day sweats, has anyone else experienced these sweats along with insomnia? I am scheduled for another injection, when do they stop giving injections?

I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with such a horrible situation. I have no answer to your question other than they will stop when you say stop. I also realize it's not easy bucking the doctor's will. I wanted to thank you for sharing your story though. I've resisted these injections in the past, in 1994, and on Thursday of this week I'm seeing a new Dr. and all things point to him pushing this treatment on me. I'm arming myself with some information, again, and I will NOT allow him to inject, period. Your story is one more piece of ammunition for me. Good luck to you and I hope you can find relief.
