I guess I was posting at the same time as you Mary. Well, I hope that this did the trick, and that the headache is going away, or at least tolerable.

And Maria is correct, ESI's do not have to be what you experienced. Sorry, that we did not think to have you ask before hand, if it was to be done under fluoroscopy, as I think this would have prevented the problems you have had.

Bottom line, I hope that the ESI gives you some relief from you pain.

Wow! That sounds very painful. I have never had one done on my side either, always lying on my stomach under fluroscopy. I can't even stand the lidocaine shot, hence why I get the sedation. I hope your headache is getting better.
