Management of Acute and Chronic Pain
Anesthesiologists also specialize in treatment of acute and chronic pain disorders. There are many types of acute and chronic pain disorders as well as many treatment regimens. A very common treatment for back and leg pain or neck and arm pain caused by herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or similar disorders is called an Epidural Steroid Injection. The following is a description of this procedure. Please see the links section for other articles on treatment of chronic and acute pain disorders.
In 1996 I started having pain. In 1998 I was finally diagnosed with LPHS. In 1999 I had a kidney autotransplant. It saved my life and I have not had any pain with this again. I enjoy life to the fullest with my husband and children. I am free from pain and the need for narcotics and other pain relievers.
