@eead
I had a spinal epidural about a month ago for spinal stenosis pain.
It did not do anything and now I have the steroid in my body that will lower your score on a DEXA for 6=12 months. I have heard some people do get relief from them but only for a few months and it is another steroid in your body.

@jpeach you do not need to worry that is only for high dose oral steroids. The injected steroids like you had are localized and only if you were repeating them several times a year would there be any concern? Don’t worry it won’t have an impact on your DEXA nor your bone density.
