Hi
I don't know what a medial branch injection is exactly. I can just tell you i have had tons of epidurals and nerve blocks in all 3 areas of my spine. My doc uses general anesthesia and when i wake up the nurses are right there with dilaudid injections for pain. so yes, i do feel the pain of the injections after for a day or 2. The next day seems to feel like my doc had a punching match using my back. After that it starts to get better , if it is going to. My longest relief was almost a year, the shortest , nada!!!
Good luck, i hope you feel better tomorrow and each day after!
judy
