Epidural steroid injection (ESI) for pain

@marcd2k today I’m going for an MRI on my cervical area. My neurologist and pain management specialist will then determine if there’s any issue, and if there is, depending on what it is I may get an injection or potentially I could get surgery. Thanks for your input everyone.

@blowerk1216 How did the MRI go? I just saw the doctor on Tuesday that gave me the epidural back on February 10th. After letting him know I am in more pain after the epidural, he has ordered a CT scan of both my Thoracic and Lumbar spine areas. He told me an MRI will not always find everything that could be the problem, that there can be bone spurs, or even disc tears, that do not show on an MRI. The CT scan of the spine should give very detailed information, especially if they are thinking another surgery is possible. Now I wait for the insurance to approve the CT scans, which is the most frustrating part, as they take up to a month to do so.
