Are you asking if epidurals cause bone loss? I was confused, but I will answer this question. You do not need to worry as a periodic injection is released into a "cavity" and is low enough dose not to be concerning. HOWEVER, if you have cortisone injections and also take prednisone you can start to be concerned and you should discuss with your doctor. I did!
