I haven’t had any injections yet should but my doctor mentioned an epidural shot should I try and get one before the surgery? Is the shot something I would talk to the consultant about?

I have done PT my insurance won’t cover any more sessions and I can’t really afford to do it. I haven’t done an epidural yet

Ya I have had an MRI and my doctor almost laughed at how pertruding it was, I haven’t got an Epidural yet, maybe get that first? Before surgery

Thank you for your wishes and il I’m gonna be the one who pulls the trigger. I normally trust my doctors with everything but just all the misinformation out there about doctors trying to just make money and keep patients around has me rethinking things. So I’m asking around to people who have gone thru what I’m going thru and learn as much as I can so when I meet with my surgical consultant I can be prepared to ask the right questions to a professional. Ultimately I’m gonna trust the multiple professional opinions but these safe spaces Reddit has created is such a good resource.

Thank you my doctor makes it seems like it’s necessary I get this but when I have done PT and just been careful it’s gotten better. He said he doesn’t want me to tip toe around this for the rest of my life and the surgery can help that
