Mary,

Sorry for the headache.
I had three ESIs this year and they were all done under fluroscope (like a type of x-ray) and was given sedation.
I didn't get any problems but was wondering if the doctor did it under fluoroscope, which I would insist on next time.
That way they call tell where they are going not just by touch.
ESIs underneath fluoroscope also have been proven more accurate in medical literature. Just google Epidural Spinal Injections or Dr. J's site.
