Just a thought, but you might mention to your MD something about Conscious Sedation under flouroscopy. This is how my PM doc did my three Epidural Steroid Injections, and all I had to do was ask him to konk me out with some Versed, Fentanyl, and Diprovan...you dont ask that, but that is what they use, it is one hell of a knockout punch...Hope that helps, the shots really did help my neck, but I still take pain medication sometimes for the pain...Thank god for YOD!!
