question: I have had an epidural injection in my lower back it seemed to only hlp the numbness and tingle sensation going down my left leg for a very short time and the pain is back I just recieve te same inctions on my neck that seems to be helping my arm right now, I am tring to figuire out if the pain will stay gone what are the chances. I am a 45 year old female who was hurt in a boat accident and have several problems I have had a total of 6 epidurals and cortison shots I am worried about having more if they do not last fro more than a couple weeks.
