This is a potentially silly question too. Any thoughts on iontopherisis for treating the area around the inflammed nerve root? I'm assuming it won't be as effective or longer lasting as the cortisone injection but if it gives me some relief then I can go and spend my money on getting aMRI and the cortisone injection.

not sure about the iontopheresis. re lyrica etc, some of my clients have had some really bad experiences on it. the particular girl i mentioned earlier tried lyrica prior to being injected and she told me she felt like she was losing her mind completely. but then i've encountered others who've had no issues. everyones different.
