SELECTIVE
NERVE ROOT
You have just received
a selective nerve root injection. This means that the physician has
injected medication into one or more specific nerves which may be
causing your pain.
Initially, your pain may be increase until the medication has become fully
effective. This may
take up to one week. To help minimize your discomfort,
please use your pain medications as
prescribed. The use of ice for the first 24
hours (five minutes out of each hour) and moist heat
after that may also help
manage your discomfort. Please remember to exercise caution when
using ice or
moist heat as both may cause the area to become numb. Monitor your skin
condition at regular intervals.
