No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators are doing this study to learn more about the cause of back pain with or without pain shooting down one or both legs. The investigators specifically want to know if cells that move into injured areas of the body are present in a space in the spine (epidural space) of patients with back pain and with or without shooting pain. The investigators will collect cells when patients are being treated, then examine the cells using a microscope. The investigators also will shine different colors of light into the epidural space to see if there is a correlation between how different colors of light are reflected and the types of cells present.
