Epidural steroid injection

When you arrive at the appointment, you will be asked to remove your outer clothing, but if necessary for optimal surgery, you should remove everything, in General, the area where the injection will be administered should be completely naked. Then you will go to the office, where you will receive an intravenous dose of medication as an auxiliary substance for complete relaxation. After that, you will be placed on an x-ray machine equipped with a roller to help reveal the spaces between the bones of the spine. In other cases, you are in a constant sitting position, while your neck is tilted forward in the same way as your back.

The area of the skin where the injection will be made is cleaned with an antibacterial agent (swab) and anesthesia is administered for pain relief. After you lose the feeling of this area, the doctor makes an injection into the spine through the skin. Cortisone enters the epidural space, in conjunction with an anesthetic. At the end of the procedure, you will be bandaged at the place of operation. Then you stay in a special recovery room for some time (usually no more than an hour).
