A member asked:
Cervical epidural - c-2/c-3/c-4/c-5 - lots of pain in my neck and shoulder blade all the time. will it help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on cause: There are many causes of pain in the neck and shoulder blade. If the cause is cervical spine disease a cervical epidural injection might help. Most people will have an MRI of the cervical spine first to make the diagnosis.
