So far I would have to give the cervical epidural procedure I endured a big thumbs down.
Even though yesterday afternoon wasn't so bad pain-wise, later in the evening I had about the same level of pain I have grown accustomed to, and this morning and afternoon have been no picnic either. Add to that the disappointment factor and you have one crummy day.
I'm sorry it hasn't helped much yet. I hope it kicks in soon and helps at least a little!

The doctor that gave me the injection said that if it didn't have any effect, there would be no further tries at it. I still have a week and a half or so before the second try, but if I do not feel any relief I may contact my surgeon and ask him if he wants to override the other doctor's decision and try again.
I hope you feel better Jeff. It sounds awful what you are going through. :(
