Fig 2 The dorsal root ganglion block was performed according to a standard local protocol, with a mixture of bupivacaine 0.25% 1 ml and methylprednisolone (as Depo-Medrone®) 20 mg injected at the site of the dorsal root ganglion. A radiculogram was obtained to confirm appropriate placement. British Journal of Anaesthesia , DOI: ( /bja/aex089) Copyright © 2017 The Author(s) Terms and Conditions
