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.

First find a good pain management specialist. There's a procedure, "epidural steroid injection" that is very helpful.
The cost of a cervical epidural steroid injection can vary widely depending on factors such as geographic location, the healthcare facility, and whether the patient has insurance. On average, the price may range from $1,000 to $3,000 per injection. Patients with insurance may pay a lower out-of-pocket cost, while those without insurance could face the full price. Always consult with healthcare providers and insurance companies for specific pricing details.
Lasix (furosemide) is a diuretic that can help reduce water weight by increasing urine production. However, it may not be effective in addressing water retention caused specifically by steroid epidural injections, as the underlying cause of the fluid retention may differ. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using Lasix or any diuretic, especially after receiving a steroid injection. They can provide personalized advice and determine the best course of action for your situation.
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.
You can get injections to alleviate the pain. Two types are Facet injection and Epidural steroid injection. It is not necessary but surgery is an option too. Most common surgery is a decompression with a fusion.
