A member asked:
Pain management: is an epidural injection in the lumbar spine the same thing as a nerve block? nerve block different than a denervation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: the point is to block the nerve….(at least like when a woman is giving birth)….sometimes there may be steroids given to help reduce inflammation of the nerve
