Prospective observational study of patients who received magnesium injection for interventional pain therapy, instead of steroid injection. Post-injection data collection includes numerical rating pain score, and sleep quality score. Pain is measured using the numeric pain rating scale. Sleep score is measured using the Likert sleep scale. A change in the pain or sleep scores by 2-points is considered significant.
