The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of spine physicians reviewing post-procedural fluoroscopic images with patients. The outcome measure to be assessed will be the potential impact the patient satisfaction and the patient's global impression of change (PGIC) 2 weeks after the spine procedure.

Modified Press Gainey Satisfaction (PGS) Questionnaire
Patient satisfaction as measured by a modified version of the PGS Questionnaire. The questionnaire is comprised of 9 questions measuring general patient satisfaction with the care experience. Each question is on a scale of 1 (very poor) to 5 (very good). The lowest possible score of the PGS is 9, and the highest possible score is 45. The lower the total score, the poorer the patient's satisfaction, while the higher the score, the higher the patient's satisfaction.
Time frame: Up to 2 hours following procedure in the post-op area
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
The PGIC is a scale participants use to rate the level of change they have experienced following treatment. The PGIC is a 7-point scale from 1 (very much better) to 7 (very much worse). After making this selection, participants then rate the percentage of how their condition is following the transforaminal epidural steroid injection compared to before, with 10% being "a little better" and 100% being "very much better."
Time frame: 2 weeks following procedure
