A member asked:
Have two pinched nerve in neck, vicodin is no longer helping. what should i do? i am scheduled for a cervical epidural in a month.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Timing : Vicodin's ineffectiveness may be due to worsening of your condition, but more likely due to tolerance to opiates. There is a sense of urgency with the latter possibility and the epidural will ideally be performed sooner than a month.
