Brief summary (from the registry)
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. The investigators' goal is comparing pain control in different groups adding the magnesium sulfate 100mg to our compounds as an inexpensive, effective, and safe adjuvant to prolong the duration of analgesia and reduce the amount of narcotic dose.
