How effective is thoracic epidural steroid injection for post-shingle pain that has been going on for 18 mons for a man in his 70s?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It helps: reducing your pain, some time it could take care of it. I like Intercostal blocks better and easier for the patient and as effective.
