A tree limb fell on me in April 2001 and it herniated my c5-c6 and c6-c7. It has been 6 mos now and I've just received my first epidural at c5. It seems to have helped a little but as I am able to do more, I seem to 'hurt' myself more. The dr. said to do if I could. I ask him about surgery and he asks me back: 'There isn't anything to do surgery on' I've been so desperate to 'talk' with another with this kind of injury. Any information would be greatly appreciated. How do you feel after the epidural? Did it help you? I wish you the best and hope you won't need surgery. I wish I could help....
