4 weeks ago I had an epidural of prednisone at C8 in the hopes it would reduce inflammation and relieve the numbness. It didn't work. Then I had the same thing at C7, again, no improvement. I need to make an appt with the dr to see what the next step is. I have acupuncture once a month and massage therapy with cupping twice a month. I need to restart physical therapy with the tens (?). That's the electrode therapy on my shoulders. All of that keeps the pain from resurfacing. I'm off all pain meds which left me with side effects. I was on Gabapentin, Lyrica, and others I don't know the name of. I did use (2) 25mg each, of CBD with no THC, by a company called SunMed.

I had a bunch of blood tests that's shows lots of inflammation, but there is no idea what is causing it. The dr doesn't know if there is a correlation between the numbness/ compression in the vertebrae and the inflammation.
