Thank you for reply. I have had 3 or more muscle injections in shoulders and both sides of buttocks, previously. Physical therapy was good years ago for cranial spinal stenosis and before 12th session I was hit in rear-end MVA. about 60 physical therapy sessions have reduced pain for short period of time, as have chiropractic, acupuncture, applied relief therapy (ART) and a therapy performed with stainless steel shapes pressed against scare tissue and muscles, with feeling great for 5-10 minutes to 30 to 45 minutes after leaving provider. It seems three (3) epidurals are necessary.
Any good results with one sessions ?
I was ready for cranial epidural, and showed up on schedule, like 18 months ago and MVA insurance company denied approval to proceed with procedure. Big disappointment. I did have concerns about cranial epidural that day in traveling to have procedure performed. Turning my head to right still and issue, especially when driving and making a left turn to see cars coming from my right side.

Yoga and Pilates help with balance. I'm doing both

Marcia, PT also has helped me, and exercises at home. A few yoga positions or exercises have also helped. I lay on rolled towels under my lumbar area and under my neck or under my head. I place a roller under my knees to relieve back pressure. I can usually fall asleep in about 5 minutes and stay that way for 15 to 45 minutes. Sometimes I do this going to sleep in bed for the night. Recently the Chiropractor suggested I use foam wedges for greater results, his words. Chiropractor says my "S" curves in neck and lumbar are improving.
Balance is another issue. Check with your local county for any balance training they may have by volunteer instructors. Our county has a 6 or 8 week program for seniors. I completed to date 50% of the training to volunteer to teach balance program with other more experienced trainer.
