Yes I have been diagnosed with moderate to severe bilatoral foraminal sterosis at c5 c6 and have an epaduarl schedualed for friday . I am a carpenter -custom millwork builder and am not sure if the the pain will be releived by the shots if I should return to work right away or wait . As we work with heavy materails on a daily basis and I do not want to make this situation worse than it already is.
