Regional anesthesia is a safe, inexpensive technique, with the advantage of prolonged pain relief. In the pain clinic the investigators perform different injections as the standard treatment for chronic pain based on the diagnosis and indications. Local anesthetic like Bupivacaine with or without Steroids (Depo-medrol) is used for these injections.
