Yes: The steroids go into the spinal canal, and the solution floats to each of the sites that is being treated. This is how the treatment is planned to work

I have a herniated disc at C6-C7. My anesthesiologist performed a interlaminar steroid inj. with Dexamethasone. After the procedure, I noticed the injection spot and my bandage are in what appears to be the T3-T4 region. Is this normal placement?
