I need information on a procedure to inject a fluid for lumbar pain (due to bone deteriorating disease), near the spine which burns the nerve ends in order to end back pain for one year or six months. It has various side effects an it is not a steroid. Paralysis, infection, migraines (for a couple of weeks) and fever to name a few. I forgot the name of the procedure to treat pain. The pain management mentioned it. They use radiation also to do this.
Thank You.
