How offen to take epidural injection?
Epidural injections can be done 1 time or multiple times, depending on the drug, as well as an continuous drip. Examples of a 1 time epidural injection would be as a woman has entered an active stage of labor. An epidural injection will be made AFTER a catheter is placed in the epidural space. This catheter usually remains till after birth, or in the case the person needs surgery, the previously placed catheter will allow another dose or even a continuous drip of medication to be administered. Also there are medications other than narcotics that can be a 1 or multiple time injection. Examples of this would be steroids, antibiotics, and intrathecal chemotherapy. In these cases the cathether may or may not be left in place. Any catheter left in place is cared for with strict sterile procedures as it can be a conduit for infection. Epidural is a common term used by lay persons to describe any sort of injection into the spinal area...however there is a difference in medical terminology related to the different anatomical spaces of the spinal area that is more descriptive to the medical person. The level of the injection will determine to a great deal as to effectiveness of the treatments, for example, if placed too high before an abdominal surgery, you can get respiratory depression, so placement is critical.

Where can one purchase Rio Salon Laser products?
I am not a doctor, but I can provide general information. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for advice tailored to your specific situation. The use of ibuprofen or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) before an epidural injection may depend on various factors, including the type of injection, the reason for the injection, and your overall health. In some cases, healthcare providers may advise against taking NSAIDs before certain procedures, as they can affect blood clotting. Epidural injections are sometimes used for pain relief in the spine, and in some situations, minimizing the risk of bleeding or bruising may be a consideration. However, the specific guidelines can vary, and your healthcare provider will provide you with instructions based on your individual circumstances. Always inform your healthcare provider about any medications, including over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen, that you are taking or plan to take before a medical procedure.
