what is a spinal nerve root block and what can I expect from it I already had surgery and it seems a little quick to do a shot after surgery . I had a micro -d done and still have a little sciatic pain and discomfort is this seem normal to you guys
 
I have had two of these. One successful and one not so successful. They block the entire nerve root so that you can not even put pressure on your leg without it collapsing for about 8 hours. They also do an epidural injection at the same time as well.

These are usually used for diagnositc purposes to determine which level is causing you the nerve pain.

You will need a ride home from the procedure because you leg will be nurab.
