Spimal Stenosis And Arthritis

I have been plagued with a back pain equal to a 7/8. I get epidurals once or twice mostly in the facet. Recently the pain has been a 10. Should I receive an epidural elsewhere than the facet?

Facet blocks never helped me, and I have Facet disease. Try a Steroid Epidural, they have worked wonders for me, and have actually delayed back surgeries. Some epidurals have lasted me 8 months.
