Hi Scoli Friends,
I had a question regarding epidurals.
I just had a caudal epidural this past Friday (Ive had 2 Facet Joint and 1 SI Joint Injections but they didn't work for me)-- my doctor went in below the fusion and put in a little catheter towards the pain area. I was wondering if anyone could tell me (maybe Linda?) how far up the steroid usually disperses? I think my nerve pain is around L3 or L4 and I'm wondering if it just didn't go up far enough.
Not having any relief unfortunately, but it hasn't been a full week yet. I have a second epidural scheduled a couple weeks from now.
Thanks!

PS Two cents: I find this forum very helpful and am grateful to Linda & all of you for all the knowledge you share.
