Esi ?

[Justin]

Well, the idea with ESI is that a patient should exhaust less invasive measures before surgery is even considered. Surgery is the absolute end of the road.

90% of patients with herniations and other issues spontaneous recover in 6 months. Less than 10% of patients with spine "trouble" require surgery.

Gil, I know you fit into a different category. If the injections feel as if they are not working discuss this with your physician. I did this and it was advised that we should throw in the towel and think about other options.

Good luck and keep us posted!
