guided L5 root nerve block injection with cortisone

[Amdrew]

Hi looking for advice,

For many years I've had my back complaint, on Wednesday I had a guided L5 root nerve block injection with cortisone, the last time I had these where in 2016 at the S1&L4 locations but no benefit which is why I received the current one, also on 2010 I had a micro laminectomy at L4/L5 area.

At the recent lower back MRI's last month, I had an MRI also of my hip area and was advised on the day of the L5 injection that my hips ball and socket are now the cause of additional pain I'm getting regularly,

I'm hoping someone can give me info as I'm only getting snippets of info from the hospital consultant. Many thanks

Hi Andrew

I am so sorry for your pain. Have you found any comfort from your nerve block?

Did they say what exactly was wrong with your hip?

Hope you can find some ease. Hugs
