A member asked:
What types of injections help with nerve pain and do they cause hair loss ? nerve pain in head and back of neck.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Steroids can do that: You need to discuss this possibility w/ the doctor who'd do the procedures. Sometimes you need to make difficult choices and weighing the pros and cons of treatments is one. If the pain can be managed in other ways - hypnosis, meditation, acupuncture, etc. or just tolerated is up to you. Not everyone has hair loss and it's not always permanent.
