Tainted Epidural Steriod Injections...For Back Pain

‎10-04-2012 07:37 PM

Hello.....this story really concerns me as I have scheduled my 1st epidural injection (cervical spine) with a Pain Management Clinic for next week. Here is a link and they are doing more on this on all news stations.

I am wondering how I could know that they have found all the tainted medicines? From what I have heard it's a common practice to compound the steroid with the numbing agent for specific use in PMC's accros the country.

I wanted to put this out there to see what others are thinking about this....am I being a nervous nelly here? I am seriously thinking of cancelling and waiting to SEE if more states and more people turn up infected....they are saying it is a given in the next weeks.

Just wish I knew for sure my state didn't get any of this tainted stuff.
