I am due a spinal block injection soon and was wondering the recovery time to return to work. I am currently working in a warehouse in case that make any difference for the recovery.
Also are there any after care tips I should follow that are not mentioned before you have surgery
Hi! It took me around 2 weeks to fully recover, but it was around 10 days till I started to feel normal and mobile.
You should get after care advice from your nurses/surgeon but the best advice I got was to remain laying down for 48 hours (obviously getting up now and then) so your body has a chance to heal and the injection gets a chance to work.
Good luck!!
Well I've had a few of those and I was back to normal activity in 24 hours. Sore but no issues with headaches They worry about those but are rare.
I've had 10 back operations and only once did I suffer a bad reaction back in 1986 but they no longer use that dye anymore.
Simple procedure done with care and a little discomfort but nothing that will keep you off your feet for a long spell.
Ask your Dr to explain everything to you do you know what to expect Thsts his job. So unless there is more to your question you will be active in no time at all.
It's like a bee sting Just lay still and it's over in no time. The bee sting is the numbing medication they give you.
Hope this helps,

On my last injection within coming out I went from a cripple to being able to walk and feel normal, it didn't last that long before pain crept back in to my lower back and bottom and I was careful as I have other issues, I can walk ok but have pain getting up and pain when I walk but it cured the sciatica in my left leg altogether! What I'm trying to get at is everybody is different what works for one is another's nightmare but be aware these injections are only a bandaid not a fix so you have to be careful and having a lifting job can aggravate that area so you need to be careful after too.
I hope it's helps for you!

I so wish that people are going to choose ( it is a choice ) any needle near your spine as in Epidural Steroid Injections be very leary. It's an Invasive Procedure. One slip and that's it! Adhesive Arachnoiditis - please do your research. It is NOT the "rare" disease that's so said. It's not admitted to you once you have it. It's primary cause is Failed Back Surgeries and Epidural Steroid Injections. Your screwed for life with Adhesive Arachnoiditis.
I heed everyone to research BEFORE you make a decision. Any Doctor that seems enthusiastic and over confident, beware. The Needles and Scalpels are the only thing that lines their pockets.
