A member asked:

If you get 10 cervical epidural blocks with steroid(dexamethasone 2mg) in 12 months , is it too much? what kinda side effects are expected in such?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Did this happen?: Indications for cervical epidural block include evidence both clinically and radiologically for a compressed nerve in the neck, cervical radiculopathy. We usually consider 3 such injections per year the maximum. 10 would be considered far beyond the ordinary, and would increase risks of spinal cord injury and even death. If you have experienced this, get an immediate second opinion.
