i am going for pain relief injection in my back for a slipped disc ?
can anyone explain the process and exactly what happens to the nervous system etc. i know i have to have a local anaesthetic first before the pain killer one ... does it numb a particular area or can it effect other parts of the body ?

1. You will be fine...I have had these before and they work great...any pain you feel which wont last long (a few seconds) and will be more like a big sting from a needle will be well worth the relief you get.It will numb just the area surrounding the bad disc .
If its the needle under CT guidance they will lie you face-down on the CT table and inject the numbing stuff then put the needle in ...take a picture to see if the needle is in the right place then either re-position the needle and re-scan or push the needle in then take it out...all over...
It doesnt take long really
