Epidurals helped me only for the first... week, maybe...! πŸ€” πŸ€” πŸ€” But, I'm no longer receiving them due to my new-found diagnosis of Adrenocortical Insufficiency, as this would have adverse effects. So, it was more work than it was worth to make appointments, & take days off work, for possibly only 1 week of MINIMIZED (NOT MUTED) PAIN. That was MY personal experience. However, every BODY responds uniquely to treatment. I highly suggest, always giving something a chance at least a few months/tries/times/sessions, etc, before calling it a treatment 'fail'. Give it an honest try. May the Lord bless you and keep you, always. You're in my prayers. πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ’ͺπŸ½πŸ‘πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½

Cortisone weakens collagen so really they must be a bad idea for anyone but especially someone with hEDS. https://www.jeffreypengmd.com/post/cortisone-injections-what-you-need-to-know
