Why is my spine still hurting after steroid injection? i had the injection at c7/t1 18 days ago. the pain is getting worse, more when lying in bed. hurts both above and below, right on the spine. i have stenosis at c5 & 6 along with bone spurs?

The steroid injection may not affect the spurs is why is not as effective in easing the pain. You may want to consider physical therapy and regular at home exercises as taught by a professional to help manage the pain of the spinal deformity.

If you had an epidural steroid injection, it would help if a nerve root is pinched but unlikely to help spondylosis and bone spurs. As noted, a potential management solution would involve physical therapy and exercise. Do notify the doctors involved and discuss intervention, as worsening pain after injection might point to infection?
