Hi! I have a patient, 45 y/ F, with lat. canal stenosis at L 4-5 level, with radiculopathy in L-4 distribution. I gave TFESI at L4-5 level and pt.'s pain was decreased to less than 50%, so I repeated TFESI after 15 days, but after 5-6 days of second intervention patient says her pain has increased and reached up to the previous level! O/E there are no red flag s/s suggesting any complicaion, pain is essentialy in the same distribution.
what are the other options left? repeat intervention? surgery??
