Say what you will, but when pressed on this issue, you tend to resort to the most base type of posting. You've even insisted we do your research for you, which we've done, only to be answered with idiotic smilies.
so you agree with her statement? it's used to relieve the localized pain of the injection itself? is that what I am to infer?
About the "local anesthetic"?
Absolutely. Local anesthetic (i.e. lidocaine) is used to relieve localized pain (small areas).
That's why it's called "LOCAL ANESTHETIC".
She didn't claim the local anesthetic is for the anti-inflammatory effect or the spine. That's what the steroids are used for.
You appear to have misunderstood her post.
no i didn't,, i clearly said they combine anesthetics with the steroids when they inject them
