Plenty here about it. First they deaden nerves to see if the offers relief. If not then don't waste more time with it.
BTW has anyone ever had epidurals in their cervical spine area?

@bajjerfan I have had so many I can even count even leading up to the nerve ablations. Not one have helped me and I have an excellent pain doctor for the back. Now after fracturing my T7 last July, Intercostal Neuraliga came along with it. Worst pain in my life and had to sleep with 2 very soft pillows behind my back and sleep on the recliner since I couldn't even get out of bed without excruciating pain. Did that for 3 weeks and finally found out about the Neuraliga. Thankfully 150 mg of Lyrica was prescribed 3 x a day along with 30 mg of Cymbalta and could function. Just now after one year I am getting off the Cymbalta but still can't the Lyrica. Had tried yet another epidural with no relief but will not do anymore.
