Transforaminal epidural

[NDA]

I've recently had an L3/L4 nerve root block using Depo-Medrone and Marcain.

Anyone here versed in these things? I'm seeing the specialist in a couple of weeks but have a few questions in the interim.

Fire away mate. I had root nerves at L4-5 blocked years ago

I'm currently pain free having had this procedure done 3 weeks ago.

My right leg is often completely numb, but I'd rather have that than the serious pain requiring an ambulance call out that started all this.

I guess my concern is that the benefits of this epidural will fade in a few weeks.

What was your experience? Was it a one time procedure and then you were fixed?
