Here are some general guidelines for preparing for a caudal steroid injection:   1. Inform your doctor of any medications you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs, supplements, and herbal remedies. Your doctor may ask you to stop taking particular medications before the procedure. 2. Inform your doctor of any allergies you have, especially to medications or local anesthetics. 3. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that is easy to remove and put back on, as you will need to undress from the waist down for the procedure. 4. Plan to have someone drive you home after the procedure, as you may be groggy from the medication or local anesthetic. 5. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or if you have any other medical conditions that may affect the procedure. 6. Empty your bladder before the procedure, as the procedure may take some time, and you may not be able to use the bathroom during the procedure. 7. Do not eat or drink anything for a few hours before the procedure, if instructed by your doctor, as you may be given a sedative. 8. Be prepared to lie on your stomach during the procedure, which typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes.   You should also follow any other specific instructions that your doctor may provide you. It is always important to communicate with your doctor and ask any questions you may have to be prepared for the procedure.
