A member asked:
Can cervical nerve irritation cause throat/facial/neck/shoulder pain. booked for esi and scared. want to be sure it's right treatment. unknown cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck Injection: Esi can be excellent, efficient, safe treatment solutions. A small dose of steroid can be directed specifically where it is needed, safely under visual guidance. At the neck, the structures are fairly superficial so you should barely notice what goes on during the injection. Regarding the diagnosis-i need more space to address that. Still scared, ask questions.
