Had epidural in 12/04, lasted about a month, had another last of Jan. this
year, lasted about 3 weeks, been struggling along since because had to have
breast surgery and radiation. I got another epidural 3 days ago because
pain so bad and going down legs, especially very painful on right knee which
has replacement joint. I had another doctor this time and she was very
careful and through in examining, , explained what she saw and what she was
doing, showed me pictures (this done did under fluoroscope where other guy
did not). She said she could feel a fatty tumor which possible could be
rubbing against the nerve. I am already starting to feel more pain especial
down to that knee. The ortho I saw is fine for routine things but not a
back surgeon. In 2003 I saw a back surgeon who said nothing that needed
surgery. He had his fellow do injections. The second one did last until
now but was excruciating, nothing said about a tumor then. It takes a long
time to get into him and am wondering what I should do now. By the way I am
also going to have to have another biopsy which I am sure will lead into
same situation with surgery and radiation. Any thoughts?..........End of
book - sorry for length!
