You were told by a cop who pulled you over that he could charge you for DUID for driving after an epidural steroid injection They use a good bit of lidocaine to numb that area?

John Law can CHARGE you with just about anything - whether it will hold up in front of a judge is another matter entirely.
It all depends on if it was a hypothetical or if you were pulled over because he saw something in your driving. If your driving is impaired, and you get pulled over and cited for DUID, you're going to have a hard time explaining that one to the judge since most hospitals don't allow you to drive after an epidural - you normally have to have someone present before they even discharge you as an outpatient. Remember that an epidural is considered an outpatient surgical procedure - I've had a few dozen over the last 20 years before I finally had surgeries. Now I just deal with mass amounts of opiates.
The point is, if you're impaired, your impaired, and that's all that needs to be proven.

What is possible esi regarding back pain?
Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) are a common treatment option for many forms of low back pain and leg pain. They have been used for low back problems since 1952 and are still an integral part of the non-surgical management of sciatica and low back pain. The goal of the injection is pain relief; at times the injection alone is sufficient to provide relief, but commonly an epidural steroid injection is used in combination with a comprehensive rehabilitation program to provide additional benefit.
