A member asked:
What is usually done for c5 c6 cervical radiculopathy in the neck? i did have a epidural injection how long do they take to work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You are on the path: Epidural injections are the next step when time, physical therapy, and oral medications have failed. It can take several days for the injections to start making a difference and sometimes takes several injections to achieve significant pain relief. If the injections fail talk to a spine specialist about other options.
