To Watch PART-1: • The Truth About Epidural Steroid Inje... Here in PART-2 of this complete and UNEDITED episode, Dr. Oz demonstrates what would happen if an injectionist were to misplace an ESI needle. New studies show that the number of adverse medical events associated with misplaced ESI's (even when fluoroscopic guidance is used) are becoming more prevalent as doctors have aggressively promoted the practice. These severe adverse events include new areas of exacerbated pain, vascular or arterial infarction, sensory nerve disturbances, stroke, cardiac arrest, chemical meningitis, paralysis, arachnoiditis and death. • Dr. Janna Friedly, a board certified physiatrist at a University of Washington and an assistant professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine as well as the Medical Director of the Outpatient Rehabilitation Division was then asked to comment. She has investigated the safety and efficacy of Epidural Steroid Injections and is internationally recognized as an expert in the field. Dr. Friedly's work has been published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and in many other prestigious medical journals. Dr. Friedly went further than the Oz investigation, claiming that her UoW study indicates that ESI's are even riskier than what is (being) reported in the medical press. (Including Elisabeth Leamy's great undercover work and by other medical experts!) • • Dr. Oz then had Dr. Paul Lynch present the other side. He practices at one of the nations largest injection centers, Arizona Pain Specialists. Dr. Lynch defended the practice by naming opiate therapy as the ONLY alternative by having just a single women in the audience declare how ESI's have temporarily helped her. • So take your pick as to who was more credible! • Our deepest thanks to Dr. Oz, Elisabeth Leamy and to their producers for believing in our story and for making U.S. broadcast history. Never before has a nationally syndicated prime-time TV show exposed the hidden dangers of epidural steroid injections and the lack of proper informed consent... never before has Arachnoiditis, a well documented horrific iatrogenic disease of the spinal cord been so accurately described to the viewing public... never before have the many suffering faces of Arachnoiditis victims (who contracted their disease because of misplaced epidural steroid needles) been so well heard... and never before have we had Champions like Dr. Mehmet Oz and Elisabeth Leamy standing with us against an industry that's harming more than they care to admit. We are all forever thankful to them. • Further reading link to Elisabeth Leamy's blog on The Dr. Oz Show: http://www.doctoroz.com/article/depth... • FDA Issues a MedWatch Drug Safety Alert (4/23/14) requiring strong label changes: FDA Link: http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/u...

Many have already complied. Among them are New Zealand, Australia, Canada, France, Italy, Switzerland, etc, even Russia, with the strange exception of the United States. Lawsuits are pending to force the agency to comply with the Safety changes issued by the manufacturer.
