Steroids are only for short term relief and are damaging in the long term. You can get huge relief from a biologic injection.

Someone Please Tell Me About "shots."
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've gotten steroid injections at specific target.
I've gotten nonsteroid injections for general area.
Not supposed to come back for 3 months. I've always been ready to return at 2 months.
NOW I've been sent on supposedly for epidural (numbing the whole spine?) It supposed to be good for a year?

I read people's posts here... seems there are lots of kinds of shots. Anyone want to straighten me out please???

Epidural Or Ablation?
A MySpondylitisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hola everyone!! Hope everyone is managing and having a great day. I have a question for anyone that has had an epidural or ablation?

He said he was afraid ablation would t work and didn’t want to try it just yet. What’s anyones thought or opinion on it. Thanks!!
