Is HCG Injection Safe For Treating Arachnoiditis?
I am 48 years old. I m 6 feet, 180 pounds. My last physical showed no signs of heart disease. I have had high triglycerides in the past. I ve also had test which revealed an underactive thyroid in the past. At present, I have continuous pain in my legs, a condition which was brought on my an adverse reaction to an epidural steroid injection 1 year ago. A doctor as says I have arachnoiditis and has prescribed hcg shots, in an attempt to help my body restore it s proper neural function. My question is how risky are hcg shots? I m willing to try anything to help control and improve the neurological symptoms I have below the site of my esi injection.
