Recently I was diagnosed with low back pain and was recommended an epidural injection. Does this help?
First, let me give you some facts. There are more swindles in medicine than in Wall Street. Doctors have been swindling patients for centuries. And epidural injection is just one more example. It is completely bullshit.
It may help relieve pain for a day but the majority of people find no benefit. It is not a cure for low back pain and often you will be suckered into enrolling for multiple injections over a period of a year.
I personally do not recommend epidural injections. If you have low back pain, reduce your weight, and exercise. The more you go and see orthopedists/neurosurgeons for your back pain, the more likely it is that you will soon be disabled.
These healthcare workers have only goal in mind- how to sucker you into some surgery or administer bullshit injections.
