ESI Scheduled on Monday Oct 26th

I am scheduled to have my first ESI on Monday(26th)and am quite nervous.I am having the ESI because I have been suffering from neck pain that radiates down both arms. In addition to severe migraine headaches. I am hoping that this will help relieve some of the pain I have been going thru for years.

Good Luck

Try not to be too nervous. It is not a pleasant procedure but it is over quickly and hopefully the results will be well worth having it done. Try and focus on the positive results that you hope to achieve rather than how uncomfortable the procedure might be. Good luck and keep us posted.
