Its not that big of a deal. They will numb up an area on your back with novacaine (this is the only part that stings). They then use an x-ray machine to guide a needle into the area adjacent to your spine that is involved. They then inject steroids and a long acting novacaine into the space adjacent to your spine. This sometimes feels "tight" The needle is removed and you're on your way.Comment
