After surgery last year when I had an Epidural; it was an entire day free to walk like a healthy person! Delightful; but only lasted a day...

Pain mgt doctor diagnosed & ordered injections to my si joints. I have gait, mechanical, leg length discrepancy issues. Will that defeat the relief from injections? Have hidradenitis, will that inflammation cause problems? Can injections be done at clinic without available images, only x Ray's during procedure? Will injections in my lower back help pain in my upper back/neck.
I had steroid injections in both of my SI joints. It's very a very quick procedure with conscious sedation. You lie down on an X-ray table, you get numbed and the injections take about 2 minutes each… read more

Literature states 20-30’s yrs at onset. I’ve always had low back pain and problems all my life but suddenly have a Sacroilitis but am not being told anything. Just take these pills and it will help.

I had surgery, worked well for me.
I started having some numbness and tingling in my right shoulder, down the arm and into the hand. This is 2nd time in a week it has happened. I can still move it, still feel like normal, no pain, no other symptoms (other than panic/anxiety thinking it might be a stroke) I mentioned it to my rheumatologist when i saw her last week and she said its probably a nerve as the other time happened when i was driving for a couple of hours..
Has something like this happened to anyone else?
Has anyone tried Lidocaine shots into the trigger points in muscles in the back? I had my first round and felt much better but it only lasted about 3 weeks.
I've had nerve ablation- xray guided, nerve prednisone injections and just injections of prednisone and anti inflamatories. The ONLY THING THAT WORKED are the shots with anti inflammatory and prednis… read more
