- what’s your take on epidural injections? I know they only treat the symptoms and not the cause but im wondering if you believe these are safe for the back ?
DD is right. No one here is qualified to answer that. You’re likely going to get a lot of different answers from even those that are. It’s something that you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons with whomever you talk to that is qualified to do them.
You’re also correct in that they will only mask the issue. If you do decide to go that route, make sure that you utilize the time when/if you feel better to do the appropriate things alleviate what might be causing the issues to begin with. All too often I see folks get relief but do nothing during that time to really correct the underlying problem. Be sure to have a clear plan with your doc on which direction you’re headed.
