A member asked:
Chronic pain. are facet joint, epidural or intra articular kenalog injections ok for an individual with paroxysmal afib?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, there is no contraindication for steroid use in patient with atrial fibrillation. My only concern is whether you are taking chronic anticoagulant or not because cardiologist often recommends blood thinner for patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
