Never had one, but I have done a couple of them. It is a very easy procedure. It is quick and virtually painless. They may or may not numb the site with lidocaine before placing the needle, but it really is such a quick procedure that many opt not to even numb the area. It often hurts more to inject the lidocaine than to place the epidural. Either way, I think you will get a much needed break from your back pain. Hope you get some relief bro.
